Daimler and Jacobs began their relationship back in 2003 when the first design concept for their global engine platform was presented at a meeting in Detroit.  This cultivated an engineering and commercial partnership that has continued to flourish from that initial design concept to what we now know as the Jacobs Model 720 engine brake.
