Voith has developed a new series of hydraulic retarder

A few days ago, Voith developed a VR123 series hydraulic retarder for buses, buses and trucks. This is a wear-free auxiliary braking system that provides safe, efficient, and economical braking for heavy-duty vehicles.

Conventional brakes have some drawbacks, such as wear due to high temperatures and cracks in the brake pads after prolonged use and frequent stopping operations. Some operators test this new gearbox and combine Voith Retarder with AMT to optimize the drive chain of the vehicle. Voith is compact and the operating temperature is lower than the AMT fit. The latest Voith retarder has a higher sustained braking effect.

Many well-known domestic vehicle manufacturers, such as Yutong, Golden Brigade, Jinlong, and Haige, have closely cooperated with Voith Turbo. It is the only supplier of hydrodynamic retarder that provides them with a variety of transmissions. Its intelligent matching technology can clearly distinguish Voith Retarder vehicles and non-loaded vehicles. There is a clear difference. Germany's TüV Süd verified the above observations on the field test.

Voith Retarder is an essential device on the bus. The driver can reduce the speed of the vehicle according to the need of safety at any time. In particular, buses, such as buses with a total length of more than 9 meters, which are more demanding in starting and stopping conditions, can ensure the safety of the vehicle and achieve high-efficiency, comfort, and safety through slow speed. is very important.

Compared with China, Europe is a leader in public transportation safety regulations. Retarders have already become the standard equipment for buses and the loading rate is nearly 100%. In the truck industry, the European speed bumper loading rate is between 50% and 60%. Investment profitability, safety and driving comfort are the main concerns when users purchase the retarder.

Voith was founded in 1867. The first generation of hydraulic buffers was developed in 1960 by Voith for buses. Then it was extended to the truck industry. So far, Voith hydraulic buffers have sold 570,000 units across the country. A total of 190,000 passenger cars worldwide are powered by Ford automatic transmissions and are one of the largest family-owned companies in Europe.
