MAN BrakeMatic
The intelligent MAN BrakeMatic®, with its Electronic Braking System (EBS), Anti-Locking Braking System (ABS) and powerful disc brakes on all wheels or hub brakes on AP axles, simply stands for superb braking. BrakeMatic makes sure the Trucknology range gains that decisive meter when braking – for the safety of all road users.
MAN EVB as standard equipment in the Trucknology series, the MAN EVB (Exhaust Valve Brake) enables powerful, wear-free braking and controlled downhill driving at high speeds with up to 290 kW of braking power. The engine brake increases braking performance by briefly opening the exhaust valve. Further development has resulted in the pressure-controlled EVBec for D28 engines. This makes an even greater braking moment available at lower speeds.
MAN EVBec
The EVBec extends the normal EVB function to enable continuously variable brake output. This is achieved by regulating the exhaust back-pressure with the butterfly valve in the exhaust pipe. The air-actuated engine brake valve closes the exhaust pipe in a step less process depending on the desired brake output, thus generating the exhaust back-pressure required for the cylinders. The vehicle management computer (FFR) measures the current exhaust back-pressure from a sensor and uses a proportional valve to ensure that the servo-cylinder is accordingly triggered by pressure. Graduated activation of the sustained-action braking system permits it to be precisely dosed when driving, resulting in gentle, smooth braking.
