Voith
voted the
Best Retarder Brand
The Voith Retarder was chosen as
the ‘Best Brand’ in the ‘Retarders’
category this year at an award cere-
mony held at the Stuttgart State Gal-
lery on May 24. The proven braking
system was voted to the No.1 spot
by the readers of the technical mag-
azines ‘Lastauto Omnibus’, ‘Trans
Aktuell’ and ‘Fernfahrer’. Prizes
were presented in a total of 22 cat-
egories based on criteria such as
brand quality, brand awareness and
brand empathy.
In the Retarders category, the hy-
drodynamic, wear-free continuous
brake from Voith was chosen the
winner. The Voith Retarder team
was delighted over the trust shown
by commercial vehicle operators
and drivers. This is once again
confirmed by the renowned award.
Alongside economy and safety, the
ongoing development of the Voith
Retarder also focuses strongly on
sustainability.
For truck and coach drivers who
spend several hours on the road eve-
ryday, the retarder is a guarantor
for safety. They can rely on cool,
fully functional service brakes in the
event of an emergency. For fleet op-
erators, factors such as economy and
sustainability are particularly impor-
tant when they select a retarder. To
