"If you use the Telma Retarder to decrease your speed and stop your vehicle, you will reduce the wear on foundation brakes as well as the frequency of maintenance visits."- Quote Mercedes-Benz Minibus.
For the Daimler Bus brand EvoBus, Mercedes-Benz Minibus and Setra, Busworld 2013 is both a closure and a new start with the the successful completion and implementation of the EURO 6 emission standard. This conversion is linked to a brand-new generation of engines. Power train auxiliaries allow for optimized fuel consumption and are designed so as to reduce weight and number of components. This means that, for the entire line, the rear drive and engine compartment have been totally redesigned. In addition, numerous tests as well as customer feedback prove that the new generation of coaches solves the contradiction between ecology and economy since it is more fuel efficient, although not heavier, than its predecessors.
At Busworld 2013 Kortrijk, visitors had the opportunity to examine five coaches, including the 'world premiere' Sprinter Travel with numerous breakthrough innovations.
The Telma Retarder, and in particular the Telma AE 30-35 is part of these innovations and contributes to the success of the line. And the Sprinter Travel EURO 6 version is equipped with a Telma Retarder, as factory option or standard.
With a Telma Retarder on board a Euro 6 vehicle, reliability, safety and comfort are guaranteed.
The result: no actuation of the service brake, no noise, no wear. Thus, the Telma Retarder takes over 90% of all braking operations, economically and quietly. To activate the retarder, the driver simply uses the brake pedal, with support from the vehicle electronics and the integrated brake foot control management.
A combination of hand and foot control provides customers with a high level of efficiency, convenience, and safety, without any compromise. Thanks to a reduction of service break wear, there are fewer visits to the workshop and the life expectancy of the service brakes is significantly greater.
Telma Retarders increase the vehicle usage (less down time) and efficiency, ensuring a good return on investment.
