VAS R5-B45


VAS Unique Design Feature:

Both Driveline reduction(vehicle in motion) and PTO Aux. Applications (overdrive) can be engaged(operated) at the same time with VAS Combination Gearboxes. Refer to our CombinationDrives for such requirements.


VAS-RGB are in-line transmission gearboxes for reducing main Drive Line speed. RGB can be operated with driveline reduction (2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, 8:1) OR normal (1:1) speed. Typical applications are Chassis Mounted Road Sweepers.
