Now that spring has arrived in Bloomfield, Connecticut, it is time for spring cleaning at Jacobs' Adopt-A-Spot at the Blue Hills Fire Department.  A small team from Jacobs visited the firehouse last Thursday evening to tending to the garden and clean up the area.  

Prime Mover Magazine recently reviewed the new Hino 500 vehicle in Japan.  Included in the article is the review of the Jacobs Engine Brake. 

A noteworthy feature is the standard fitment of a Jacobs engine brake or ‘Jake Brake’ across the range, providing first-class engine braking capability.

The brake-saving potential of the combined retardation from the exhaust and Jake brake was clearly evident.

Transport Topics recently spoke to Robb Janak, Director of New Technology at Jacobs, about improving fuel efficiency and reducing NOx with the latest technologies from Jacobs such as Cylinder Deactivation and Variable Valve Actuation.
