Jacobs Vehicle Systems®, a leading worldwide manufacturer of heavy-duty diesel engine retarding systems and valve actuation systems, recently celebrated the delivery of its eight millionth engine brake. 

This milestone comes less than two years after Jacobs shipped its seven millionth brake, and nearly 60 years after the company’s first engine brake, invented by Clessie Cummins, was introduced to the trucking industry by Jacobs.  

Jacobs eliminates the need for valve lash adjustments and makes lashless valvetrains compatible with engine braking, benefiting fuel economy and emissions.

Technology to be exhibited for the first time at Agritechnica 2019 in Germany.

Jacobs’ hardware, developed to meet Tula’s systems requirements, will further enhance fuel savings and emissions reductions.
