AI Technical Summary
Light industrial vehicles with diesel engines lack an affordable and compact engine brake system that does not interfere with the vehicle's operation and prevents accidental engine shutdown, while existing solutions for larger vehicles are costly and complex to install.
An electromagnetically controlled engine brake system with a butterfly valve and electronic control unit that integrates with the vehicle's existing hydraulic braking system, using solenoids to manage the exhaust duct closure without interfering with engine operation, and includes a control unit that ensures safe braking and fuel savings.
Provides safe, efficient, and cost-effective braking without interfering with engine operation, reducing space and fuel consumption, and preventing accidental engine shutdown, while being easily retrofittable to various vehicles.
