Accelerating Braking Solutions for Jacobs Vehicle Systems
Engine braking is essential to modern trucking. When the accelerator isn’t in use, engine brakes harness the engine’s power to slow down trucks, working alongside traditional physical brakes. However, braking systems aren’t one-size-fits-all, as space constraints vary between different truck models. To tackle this, Jacobs Vehicle Systems, based in Connecticut, partnered with AIXI to create multiple prototypes with different form factors and successfully move them into the production phase.
