Telma Retarders will do up to 85 percent of a vehicle’s braking, saving the foundation brakes for when they are really needed. If the engine dies and the power brakes go with it, the retarder will still safely slow a vehicle down. As long as there’s power in the battery, these retarders, available from Telma Retarders, Inc., can act as a safety back-up system.
