China
Cost-effective technology for when "good enough" just isn't.
Jacobs Vehicle Systems has developed best-in-class engine braking technologies for clients across China, including CAMC, CNHTC, DCEC, DFCV, FAW, SDEC, Weichai, XCEC, Y&C, and Yuchai. Our engine brake technologies provide the superior performance worthy of China’s best trucks. We work closely with engine manufacturers to develop solutions and provide the most cost-effective technology possible.
Europe
The world's best trucks deserve the world's best engine brakes.
Our engineers work closely, at the earliest stages of development, with engine manufacturers across Europe, including DAF, Daimler, Deutz, Renault Trucks, and Volvo. Jacobs develops integrated solutions to solve engineering challenges and improve the overall performance of the world's best trucks. In 2019, Jacobs opened a local assembly facility in the Czech Republic to offer our European customers a responsive, hands-on experience.
India
Powering innovation in a developing market.
New, higher speed limits designed to reduce congestion in a rapidly developing country pose road safety and efficiency challenges for fleets across India. With overloaded trucks unable to maintain increased speeds for shorter trip times, or comply with regulatory braking requirements, Jacobs’ engineers are introducing the advantages of engine braking. Jacobs’ technology increases productivity by providing enhanced vehicle control in India’s tough terrain, reduced downtime, and decreased overall cost of ownership. This technology supports the regulatory requirements while delivering superior value to the end customers.

Japan
Technology and collaboration to power emerging markets.
Working with our Japanese partners, Jacobs Vehicle System has developed exhaust, compression release, and High Power Density brakes as well as other valve actuation systems that are making Japan’s trucks competitive and safer for an international market. Hino, Isuzu, Mitsubishi/Daimler, and other partners collaborate with our engineers early in the development process. Together we develop engine brakes and valve actuation systems with a winning combination of power, weight, reliability, and cost.
Korea
A trusted partner for the great engines of tomorrow.
Korean engine manufacturers have long understood the advantage of working with Jacobs. For both high-performance and high-reliability, both Hyundai and Dooson, have relied on Jacobs’ technology to help make great advancement possible. Our partnerships begin during the concept stage, long before new models of buses or trucks are ready for market. Working together, we find the appropriate balance of power, weight and cost to drive success. See how our latest technology can work for you.
