Efficient combination of power and control.
The heavier your commercial vehicle, the higher the stress on clutch and brakes. The solution? The VIAB wear-free integrated start-up and braking system from Driventic, which efficiently combines power and control. Using this system, even heavy trucks can start up powerfully, maneuver with millimeter precision, and brake safely and continuously without wear. This results in considerably longer service lives for friction clutches and service brakes, as well as greater safety and ride comfort.
Your advantages at a glance
Wear-free starting and braking meets power and control: Our innovative VIAB turbo retarder clutch combines all these advantages with the highest standard of comfort in a single system. You benefit from maximum traction over the entire speed range as well as consistent performance even at maximum speed. In addition, the integrated high-performance primary retarder ensures maximum braking power even at the lowest speeds, and it even functions in reverse gear.
Moreover, even extreme stresses cannot affect the superior temperature stability – a crucial advantage compared with conventional torque converters. So it’s time for you to stop comprising – welcome to the world of Driventic.

Pure power, maximum precision
Our Turbo Retarder Clutch VIAB allows high-precision maneuvering and start-up at consistently low operating temperatures, even in the lowest speed range, in extremely rough terrain and when carrying particularly heavy loads. Companies such as Georg Müller GmbH and TSB Transport-Service-Beitinger would not want to be without it.
VIAB @ construction site deployment
The Georg Müller GmbH specializes in transporting heavy loads of various construction materials. The drivers of this family-owned company appreciate the unique technology of the Turbo Retarder Clutch VIAB, which enables safe, precise maneuvering and easy handling in demanding terrain, such as sand pits, muddy construction sites, slippery dirt roads, or icy paths. Equally convincing: Even in difficult situations, full braking power is always available, as the service brake does not overheat. As a result, with prudent driving, new brake pads are only required after 500,000 to 600,000 kilometers – around three times the usual service life.

trucks
The demands we make on the vehicles are very high. They have to withstand stresses that are quite different to trucks that mainly transport goods on the highway. As a result, our demands on the technology are a little higher as well, and, so far, our experience has been very positive.
Georg Müller, Managing Director Georg Müller GmbH
VIAB @ heavy transport
The company TSB Transport-Service-Beitinger specializes in demanding heavy-haul transports. Forty trucks in the TSB fleet are equipped with the Turbo Retarder Clutch VIAB. For heavy transports of partially bulky components weighing several hundred tons, such as those for hydropower plants or paper machines, where powerful starts, precise millimeter-level maneuvering, and safe braking are particularly important, the wear-free integrated start-up and braking system is indispensable to TSB.
