Which of the following components is a fundamental part of a purely pneumatic braking system in a truck?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In heavy vehicles intended for goods transport, braking is based on a fully pneumatic circuit that works by means of pressurized air. The key part in charge of drawing in atmospheric air, compressing it and sending it to the tanks (air reservoirs) is the compressor, usually driven by the vehicle's own engine. For its part, the vacuum pump (depressor) and the brake booster are elements of the hydraulic power-assisted braking systems common in passenger cars and vans, and not of a truck's pneumatic service brake.
