Results for tag: "Automotive Retarder"

The Automotive Retarder is a type of brake system and component used in vehicles to reduce speed and provide additional braking power. It works by converting the vehicle's kinetic energy into heat, which is then dissipated through the brake discs. This helps to reduce wear and tear on the brakes, as well as providing additional stopping power. Automotive Retarders are typically used in heavy-duty vehicles such as trucks, buses, and off-road vehicles, as well as in some passenger cars. Automotive Retarders are designed to provide a smooth and consistent braking experience, and are often used in combination with other braking systems such as ABS and EBD. They are also used to reduce the risk of jack-knifing in heavy-duty vehicles, and can be used to reduce the risk of skidding in wet or icy conditions. Some of the companies in the Automotive Retarder market include Wabco, Knorr-Bremse, Meritor, ZF Friedrichshafen, and WABCO India. Show Less Read more
