• APPLICATION

During TELMA electromagnetic braking retarder are widely used in medium and large bus,tripper trucks, mine dump trucks and other heavy trucks.

• SAVING

During so-called service braking, the energy to be dissipated to slow down or stop a vehicle with a conventional braking system is so important that the components of the braking system, including the brake linings, undergo significant heating, which accelerates wear.

Telma retarders ensure the vehicle's braking needs. Vehicles equipped with a Telma retarder can multiply the lifespan of their service braking system up to ten times: maintenance costs are therefore greatly reduced and operational availability is increased.

• MORE SAFETY!

The electromagnetic technology guarantees unequalled instantaneous availability and full braking power provided by the Telma retarder, regardless of the vehicle's speed.

Telma retarders remain effective even if the engine stops running, or when the gearbox is in neutral.

As they dissipate the energy generated during braking directly into the atmosphere without using the engine's liquid cooling system, Telma retarders are effective in all situations, thereby ensuring that a vehicle always remains at the driver's desired speed.

With exceptional endurance, Telma retarders ensure most vehicles' braking needs. Risks associated with service braking system overheating are therefore avoided and the system remains fully operational in case of emergency.

• COMFORT

The complete lack of friction makes Telma retarders totally silent in all conditions of use.

The electromagnetic technology guarantees Telma retarders' instant response to driver solicitations, thus allowing for an unprecedented driving experience.

The ease of use, flexibility and progressive character of Telma retarders guarantees exceptional comfort for the driver and its passengers.

Telma retarders also provide great adaptability due to the wide range of products offered, the simplicity of integration and the compatibility with all electronic braking systems available on the market.With their tried and robust technology, Telma retarders require no specific maintenance.
