Does ABS need a servo?

re: discussions in another thread about loss of braking on full throttle i.e. no vaccum for the servo
I thought there were cars with electric pumps to pressurise the servo - is the latest Prius one of them?
What about the electric Berlingo?

If it's the case that cars could manage without a servo, relying on bigger friction material area, does ABS etc need a servo to operate?

Checking out various elises vs vx220s. Add ABS and it has a servo too Think of the vacuum pipe running the length of the car, and all that weight
