Jacobs’ engine brake for International’s A26

Mar 16, 2017

Jacobs Vehicle Systems’ compression release engine brake for International’s A26 engine is engineered to leverage the A26’s variable geometry turbo to increase engine brake performance at lower engine speeds and higher altitudes, helping to increase foundation brake life and improve driveability by reducing downshifting, noise, vibration and harshness. The engine brake can be spec’d for factory installation on International LT Series long-haul and RH Series of regional-haul vehicles.
