The Aquatarder SWR For Mercedes-Benz Trucks

The document discusses the Voith secondary water retarder system for Mercedes-Benz trucks. The retarder uses engine cooling water, requires no oil changes, and provides maintenance-free, high-power braking. It offers advantages like increased safety reserves for braking, integration with Mercedes-Benz safety systems, and higher resale values for vehicles equipped with the retarder. Comparisons show it can increase braking power at high speeds by over 350% compared to standard engine brakes.
