Speed delimiter
For selected applications where the factory electronic maximum-speed limit can be removed or altered.
Engine VMAX
Speed limiter control for selected applications.
STEINBAUER VMAX solutions are available for selected vehicles where electronic maximum-speed limitation or application-specific speed control is required.
Availability depends on the individual vehicle, engine, transmission and control-system configuration.
Application specific
VMAX functionality is matched to the individual vehicle
application rather than supplied as a universal solution.
Electronic speed control
Solutions may include maximum-speed limiter removal or
application-specific speed-control functionality.
UK technical support
Application confirmation and technical support are available
from STEINBAUER UK.
What is VMAX?
Control of the vehicle’s electronic maximum-speed limit.
Many modern vehicles use electronic control strategies that can limit maximum road speed. On selected applications, STEINBAUER offers VMAX solutions designed to modify or remove that electronic maximum-speed restriction.
VMAX products are application specific. The exact functionality available depends on the vehicle and its electronic control system.
Speed control
Set or restrict maximum operating speed on supported applications, including cars, vans, tractors and selected commercial or specialist vehicles.
Vehicle-specific hardware
Compatibility is determined by the exact vehicle, drivetrain and electronic architecture.
Designed for the application
Not every vehicle can use the same VMAX solution.
Vehicle manufacturers implement speed limitation in different ways. For this reason, VMAX availability must be checked against the exact application rather than assumed from model name alone.
When enquiring, provide the vehicle model, year, engine, original power output and, where possible, the VIN or STEINBAUER application reference.
Before ordering
- Confirm the exact vehicle application
- Check whether VMAX functionality is listed
- Confirm installation requirements
- Check whether the function is limiter removal or speed control
- Contact STEINBAUER UK if the application is unclear
Speed control
Control and limit maximum speed for cars, vans, tractors and other supported vehicles.
In addition to removing an existing electronic speed limit, selected STEINBAUER VMAX applications can be used to control or restrict the maximum speed of a vehicle.
This can be useful where a business, fleet operator, contractor or machine owner wants a defined maximum operating speed for safety, compliance, site rules or operational control.
- Passenger cars and fleet vehicles
- Vans and light commercial vehicles
- Tractors and agricultural machinery
- Selected commercial and specialist vehicles
- Application-specific maximum-speed settings
Examples of speed-control use
Depending on the supported application, the maximum vehicle speed can be set to suit the intended operating environment.
- Fleet speed restriction
- Site or yard speed limitation
- Agricultural transport speed control
- Commercial vehicle operating limits
- Specialist or customer-defined speed requirements
The available control range and installation method depend on the individual vehicle and electronic system.
Important information
VMAX changes the speed limitation — not the physical limits of the vehicle.
Removing or altering an electronic speed restriction does not change the mechanical capability of the tyres, brakes, suspension, drivetrain or other vehicle systems.
Vehicle condition, tyre speed rating, load, road conditions and all applicable legal requirements remain the responsibility of the vehicle operator.
VMAX products should only be used where lawful and appropriate.
Always ensure the vehicle and its components are suitable for the
intended operating speed.
Find a compatible application
Check whether VMAX is available for your vehicle.
Use the STEINBAUER application finder and search for VMAX, your vehicle model or the relevant STEINBAUER part number.
If you cannot find the application, send us the vehicle details and we can check availability.
Frequently asked questions
Engine VMAX FAQs
What does VMAX mean?
VMAX refers to the vehicle’s maximum-speed control. On supported applications, the STEINBAUER solution can modify or remove an electronic maximum-speed restriction.
Is VMAX available for every vehicle?
No. VMAX is application specific and depends on the vehicle’s electronic control system and drivetrain.
Does VMAX increase engine power?
Not necessarily. VMAX functionality relates to electronic speed limitation. Some vehicles may have a separate STEINBAUER performance application, but this should be checked individually.
Can STEINBAUER UK confirm compatibility?
Yes. Send us the vehicle model, year, engine and original power output and we can check the available application.
Can VMAX be used on public roads?
Use must comply with applicable laws and regulations. The vehicle operator is responsible for ensuring the vehicle, tyres and operating conditions are suitable.
Need VMAX for a specific vehicle?
