A wheel end module for a heavy-duty vehicle includes a processing device, a radar module arrange to transmit a radar signal towards a surface supporting the vehicle and to receive backscatter from the radar signal, and a load sensing arrangement. The processing device determines a parameter related to a normal force associated with at least one wheel of the heavy-duty vehicle by the load sensing arrangement, determines a parameter related to a friction coefficient of the surface by the radar module. The processing device determines a wheel force generating capability of the at least one wheel, based on the normal force related parameter and on the friction coefficient related parameter. The wheel end module outputs the wheel force generating capability on an output interface of the wheel end module.
