BLOOMFIELD, CT, USA – Jacobs Vehicle Systems®, a global manufacturer of diesel and natural gas engine retarding systems and valve actuation mechanisms, will supply a compression release engine brake to South Korean engine manufacturer Doosan Infracore for its DX12 model.

With the new agreement, Jacobs’ products may be specified as a customer option on the DX12 Euro 6 engine for the domestic South Korean market, where it is selected predominantly by dump truck and mixer vehicle manufacturers.

Hauliers in Germany had the opportunity to test the new HPD engine brake (High Power Density) for themselves in a demo truck. The test drivers agreed: HPD has the potential to supersede conventional retarders in the future.

KFZ-Anzeiger joined the Jacobs team in November for a ride and drive event with Grosse-Vehne.  After the event, KFZ-Anzeiger featured the event in its January 2020 edition.

Davon konnten wir uns bei einer Probefahrt mit einem Euro-6-Vorführtruck samt HPD-System selber überzeugen." - KFZ-Anzeiger
