    The Voith Retarder VR 123+ is a high-performance braking system that provides safer, more economical, and more comfortable braking for commercial vehicles. It works by using an oil medium between a rotor and stator to convert kinetic energy into heat and slow the vehicle. Benefits include higher average speeds, lower operating costs due to fuel savings and fewer workshop visits, as well as improved safety and comfort for drivers. It also helps reduce environmental impacts through less brake dust, noise, and CO2 emissions.
