Yes, they do. That "electronic" system referred to in European trucks is a control system known as EBS (Electronic Braking System), and is a better system than ABS (Antilock Braking System), but is not compliant with US FMVSS121 regulations as a standalone system. That's a control module - the Euro trucks still use air brakes.
