Jacobs Vehicle Systems®, the world’s leading manufacturer of diesel and natural gas engine retarding systems and valve actuation mechanisms, announces the launch of two engine brake models for Ford Otosan’s new generation, environmentally friendly and fuel efficient Ecotorq engine family.
These launches mark the first joint development programs between Jacobs and Ford Otosan. The collaborative effort between Ford Otosan’s and Jacobs’ engineers resulted in two powerful and reliable engine retarders which augment Ford Otosan’s heavy duty Ecotorq engines and wide variety of truck offerings. The new engine brake models come standard on Ford Otosan’s new generation Ecotorq engines. These models implement bleeder brake and bridge brake technology for the 9 and 13 liter engines respectively.
“Jacobs is proud to be part of the next generation Ecotorq product line by Ford Otosan,” said Sergio Sgarbi, President of Jacobs Vehicle Systems. “By combining Jacobs’ engine braking expertise with Ford Otosan’s strong product offering, we believe this launch will be a great success and the beginning of a strong technology partnership.”
