The medium and heavy duty commercial vehicle industry continues to evolve globally. In India, market dynamics for commercial vehicle manufacturers are changing quickly. New market entrants as well as a focus on safety, total cost of ownership, and new regulations are forcing the rapid adoption of technologies that have proven important in other global markets. The engine brake is one of these technologies. The engine brake has become a standard in many worldwide markets because of its ability to provide highly safe, efficient and cost effective supplemental retarding in downhill conditions without time or temperature limitations. It addresses the common concern of exceeding the thermal limitations of a loaded vehicle's foundation brakes on a downhill grade, which may significantly reduce the stopping capability of the vehicle and put the driver, truck, load, and other people on the road in significant risk.
