Best Answer

Engine brake retarders (found usually on commercial vehicles) are intended to inhibit the camshaft's turning, which, in turn, slows down the turning of the driveshaft, which, in turn, slows the rotation of the tires, which, in turn, slows the vehicle down. This is the system commonly known as the "Jake brake".
