An emergency brake is a separate brake system in a vehicle for use in case of failure of the regular (hydraulic or air) brakes and commonly used as a parking brake in automobiles.

• For road vehicles, see Hand brake
• For trains, see Emergency brake (train)

In today's world it is more commonly referred to as a parking brake. It is in fact and was designed as an "emergency brake" in case of brake failure. The reason I posted is because the original OP stated he didn't need it.
