Abstract
The article analyzes the mechanical losses in the internal combustion engine that create the braking torque of the engine, examines the parameters that affect its value. It is shown that during planned braking, the use of an internal combustion engine as a retarder brake does not lead to negative consequences, both for the engine itself and for all transmission elements, and timely switching of the gearbox to a reduced gear keeps the deceleration of the car at the highest possible level, as a result, the service life of the brake pads increases and fuel consumption decreases.
