BLOOMFIELD, CT… Jacobs Vehicle
Systems®, the world’s leading manufacturer of diesel and natural gas
engine retarding systems and valve actuation mechanisms, announces the
launch of a compression release engine brake for the all-new 2020 Hino XL
Series Truck.
Over
the past two decades, Hino Motors’ and Jacobs Vehicle Systems’ engineers have
collaborated to provide outstanding engine brakes to the Japanese market.
Today, the relationship continues with the introduction of the A09 engine to
the US market. The two companies partnered to design a high-performing
compression release engine brake for Hino’s first Class 7/8 commercial vehicle
in North America.
“Hino is well respected globally for
its reliability and performance, and we are honored to be part of Hino’s first
Class 7/8 launch in the U.S.,” said Dennis Gallagher, President, Jacobs Vehicle
Systems. “Jacobs’ expertise in engine braking coupled with Hino’s ability to
drive excellence in quality will create a great customer experience.”
The
Jacobs Engine Brake® is currently available on Hino’s A09
engine and comes factory installed on all class XL7 and XL8 Series trucks. The
engine brake for the A09 engine provides optimal braking performance which
drivers have come to depend on. Some benefits include being fully
integrated with the engine electronic control system and ABS, a two-stage brake
operation of medium and high, and cruise control compatibility for greater
driver control.

XL Series and the Jacobs Engine Brake performance, visit hino.com/hino-trucks-xl-series.html or jacobsvehiclesystems.com.
