Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a system for use in connection with a wheel torque generating component in a heavy-duty vehicle, comprising a fluid conduit, a flow creating device configured to provide a pressurized air flow through said fluid conduit, a flow directing device enabling the pressurized air flow to be directed from the fluid conduit to the wheel torque generating component so as to control the temperature of the wheel torque generating component, and a control unit configured to compare a determined first temperature of the pressurized air flow with a determined second temperature of the wheel torque generating component, wherein the control unit is configured to, based on the comparison of the first temperature and the second temperature, selectively control the flow directing device to direct the pressurized air flow to the wheel torque generating component. The invention also relates to a method.
