Some do. although the primary reason that more don't is that disc brakes weigh a lot more than drums, as well they do cost a lot more. The more weight you have the less you can haul. In my opinion discs are more reliable and provide better safety than drums, but it is hard to argue with economy.

No.


Does all big rigs have air brakes?

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.
