Abstract

Retarders on commercial vehicles allow higher speeds driving downwards on hills while the service brakes stay cool and ready to be applied. Three different types are developed (1) the motor-brake; (2) hydraulic retarders; and (3) electric retarders. Some new types are still in a developing phase. A state of the art report on retarders is presented.
