Truck engine

How does a truck engine work?

A truck engine is typically a heavy-duty diesel engine that operates on the principle of internal combustion. The engine compresses air in the cylinders, after which fuel is injected and ignited due to the high pressure and temperature. The resulting explosion drives the pistons, which in turn set the crankshaft in motion. This mechanical energy is transferred to the wheels through the drive system, thereby setting the truck in motion and providing the necessary traction to transport heavy loads.

How to recognize a faulty truck engine?

A faulty truck engine can exhibit various symptoms, such as abnormal sounds like ticking, knocking, or rattling, reduced power or acceleration, smoke from the exhaust, excessive oil consumption, overheating, vibrations or shaking, irregular idling, and warning lights illuminating on the dashboard. It's important to take these signs seriously and promptly seek professional diagnosis to prevent further damage to the engine.

Engine brake

Manufacturers are always finding ways to reduce running costs for the customer. One of those ways is the engine brake. By using smart camshaft designs, the truck can be slowed down without using the normal brakes. Volvo calls it VEB+ (Volvo Engine Brake). At DAF they speak of the MX Engine Brake.
