Jacobs Vehicle Systems Marks Sale of 4 Millionth Engine Brake
Bloomfield, CT – Jacobs Vehicle Systems is marking the sale of its 4 millionth Jacobs Engine Brake this month. Since the Connecticut-based manufacturer pioneered engine retarding technology in 1961, the Jacobs Engine Brake has become an integral part of truck engines worldwide.
What began as an idea of inventor Clessie Cummins has evolved from an aftermarket option into an essential technology for diesel engines. Getting involved early in the engine design cycle has allowed Jacobs to make continuous improvements in retarding performance and engine interface reliability.
