Speed Limiter for mechanically controlled engines (EFA) For both petrol and diesel engines the existing mechanism on the carburetor and/or /fuel pump is extended or adapted in such a way that the ‘lever’ on the pump can be controlled by an actuator, irrespective of the position of the accelerator pedal. The electronics in the control unit receive the speed signal pulses, and continuously compare this signal with the pre-set maximum. As the speed approaches the maximum, the control unit activates the actuator. The actuator in turn adjusts the position of the ‘lever’ on the fuel pump, in time to...

Optional: Cruise Control / Power Take Off hold and cruise control operation are integrated in control lever. In the PTO (Power Take Off) application the engine is able to drive an external power unit at a constant engine speed. Using cruise control, the driver can continue to drive at a preset speed (minimum 30 km/h) without keeping his foot on the accelerator pedal. It does of course remain possible to accelerate for example when overtaking because the accelerator pedal stays functional during cruising. The cruise speed is the current speed at the moment the system is switched on. Using the...
