ABSTRACT:
In a vehicle having driven and non-driven wheels and driven and non-driven shafts a brake system including wheel brakes and auxiliary drive line brakes. The auxiliary drive line brakes are designed with a heat absorbing capacity to absorb at least twice the maximum heat energy as the wheel brakes. The auxiliary drive line brakes are watercooled friction disc brakes operating without self-intensification and comprising dry friction elements. The brake system further comprises actuating means including a singular application means and separate brake circuit means for the drive line brakes and the wheel brakes. The actuating means forces the system to operate the auxiliary drive line brakes alone in a first mode of operation during which the wheel brakes remain unbraked and to then operate the system in a subsequent second mode of operation in which the wheel brakes are operated in addition to the drive line brakes such that the total applied braking moment is distributed to each wheel approximately in proportion to the dynamic load on that wheel.
