Jacobs Vehicle Systems Europe, manufacturer of heavy-duty diesel engine retarding and valve actuation systems, recently celebrated shipping its 50,000th engine brake manufactured from its European facility near Brno, which it opened a year ago in September 2019.

The all-new Mercedes-Benz Intouro, a high-floor coach aimed at interurban, day excursion and regional bus services is the first bus to be optionally equipped with Active Brake Assist 5.

ZF Friedrichshafen AG late last month completed the acquisition of commercial vehicle technology supplier, Wabco Holdings Inc, having gained approval from all required regulatory authorities.

Knorr-Bremse AG has announced a high double-digit million Euro disc-brake supply extension contract with Europe’s biggest semi- trailer builder, Schmitz Cargobull AG of Horstmar, Germany.

Jacobs Vehicle Systems has announced it is to extend the supply compression release engine brakes across the full range of Yuchai K Series heavy duty engines made by Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Co Ltd, one of China’s largest engine makers based in Yulin.
