Jacobs Vehicle Systems has launched a compression release engine brake for the 2020 Hino XL Series truck.
The Jacobs Engine Brake is currently available on Hino’s A09 engine and will come factory-installed on all XL7 and XL8 Series trucks. Company engineers collaborated to optimize the engine brake for the new truck, the companies said. Some benefits noted by the company 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.
