How to use Voith hydraulic retarder?

1. How to operate the Voith hydraulic retarder in the hilly area

The road conditions in hilly areas are characterized by undulating terrain with gentle slopes, consisting of continuous low hills. When going downhill, we can turn on the constant speed gear of the Voith hydraulic retarder to ensure that the vehicle goes downhill safely. When approaching the bottom of the slope, the retarder can be turned off in advance, and the inertia of the vehicle can be used to rush down an uphill without overspeeding.

2. How to operate the Voith hydraulic retarder in the predictive driving scene?

For predictive driving in any scenario, such as traffic lights, entering toll booths, traffic jams and other non-emergency braking situations, we can use Voith hydraulic retarders. For example, when we are driving and the speed of the vehicle in front is slow, we can use the retarder to slow down in advance when we cannot overtake. When there is no need to slow down, turn off the retarder, and the vehicle will continue to slide by inertia.

3. How to operate the Voith hydraulic retarder on wet, rainy and snowy roads?

When driving on rainy and snowy roads, it is necessary to steer slowly and step on the brake lightly to avoid sudden braking that will cause the vehicle to lose control and push the head. The same is true for using a hydraulic retarder, which needs to be used carefully according to the current road conditions
