Discover how the Variable Valve Brake (VVB) in the Scania Super 11 engine is designed to deliver strong and consistent engine brake performance across a wide engine speed range. Integrated inside the engine and controlled by advanced software, the system combines cam phasers and valve train components to provide effective braking while maintaining reliability and performance.
“You can actually set the vehicle speed downhill, push a button and the truck will brake for itself,” says Henrik Andersson, Development Engineer for Engine Brake Performance.
