- A full power hydraulic brake system has been designed for heavy-duty commercial vehicles. This system uses a hydraulic pump and one or more accumulators to generate and store energy until it is needed for braking purposes. All components have been designed specifically for vehicle braking using standard brake fluid as the energy transfer medium. Mineral oil may be used in the system if the rubber parts are replaced with parts that are compatible with the fluid.
