In the vast panorama of heavy-duty vehicle technology, a system of cardinal importance often sits unseen and unsung: semi-truck air brakes. Fundamental to the gargantuan semi-trucks we often see dominating our highways, air brake systems are ingenious feats of engineering, ensuring safety in a world of heavy loads and high speeds.
