What is Telma retarder?

Telma retarders are a reliable and efficient braking system for heavy vehicles. They are frictionless, virtually maintenance free, and manufactured in France. They improve the safety of vehicles by dissipating the energy of braking, protecting the service brakes, and guaranteeing the control of drivers. They also reduce the wear and tear of brakes and tyres, and increase the speed of downhill journeys. They are suitable for vehicles that require frequent or repetitive braking, such as buses, coaches, and heavy transport vehicles.
