Mercedes-Benz Retarder

Original Mercedes-Benz Retarder – A0014300595 – NEW – OEM

This listing features a brand-new, original Mercedes-Benz retarder, supplied directly to OEM specifications and manufactured by Mercedes-Benz AG. The retarder is unused, in factory condition, and intended for heavy-duty commercial vehicle applications where controlled braking performance and drivetrain protection are essential.

A Mercedes-Benz retarder provides continuous auxiliary braking, significantly reducing wear on the service brake system while ensuring stable vehicle control during long descents, high load operation, and demanding transport conditions. Designed to integrate seamlessly with Mercedes drivetrain and electronic systems, this OEM retarder delivers reliable and consistent performance under extreme operating conditions.

Key Product Highlights

• Part Type: Retarder (auxiliary braking system)

• Condition: New (unused)

• OEM Quality: Genuine Mercedes-Benz

• Manufacturer: Mercedes-Benz AG

• Application: Commercial vehicle drivetrain

• Function: Wear-free braking support and speed control

Technical Description

The Mercedes-Benz retarder operates independently of the main braking system, using hydraulic or transmission-integrated braking force to slow the vehicle without friction. This results in:

• Reduced brake disc and pad wear

• Improved downhill speed control

• Lower operating costs over long distances

• Increased safety during heavy load operation

Manufactured to strict Mercedes-Benz tolerances, this retarder is engineered for high thermal resistance, long service life, and consistent braking output, even under continuous load.

Vehicle Compatibility

✔ Suitable for Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles equipped with compatible retarder systems
(Exact model and drivetrain compatibility should always be confirmed using the vehicle VIN and part number.)

Why Choose an Original Mercedes-Benz Retarder?

Choosing a genuine Mercedes-Benz retarder ensures:

• Full compatibility with Mercedes transmission and control systems

• Correct braking performance under all load conditions

• Long-term durability in fleet and long-haul operation

• Compliance with manufacturer safety and performance standards

Non-OEM retarders or rebuilt units may lead to reduced braking efficiency, electronic faults, or premature drivetrain wear. Original Mercedes components are designed for maximum reliability in commercial transport environments.

Ideal Applications

• Replacement of damaged or worn retarder units

• Fleet maintenance and refurbishment

• Long-haul and heavy-load transport vehicles

• Professional truck workshops and service centers
