Our Park Brake Interlock Valve was developed for a global OEM, who was looking for a valve that insured that the service brakes were pressed before the park brake could be released.
In safety critical applications such as school buses, unauthorized operation of the park brake control could result in the release of the park brakes, thus having a solution to counteract this was vital. |

The solution developed by GVT utilized a uniquely simple and innovative approach. A simple piston / poppet was used to respond to service line pressure. One new development with this product is that we also combined the functionality of 7 valves (what had been used previously) into a smaller solution with 1 valve.
If the service line was not pressurized, then the park brake pressure would be exhausted which would then prevent pressurization of the park brake circuit (Park release). Included with this solution was the option of an ignition interlock. |
