There are primarily two types of speed governors ( speed limiter device).
Fuel Control Type of SLD: The fuel control type of speed limiter device reduces the fuel momentarily when the driving speed exceeds the specified speed.
Accelerator Control SLD: The accelerator control speed limiter device operates on the accelerator of the vehicle, which will be disabled beyond the specified speed.
either of the type of speed limiter device do not impact on the engine or the pick up.
This is a general misconception as the speed governors merely operate to control the speed of a vehicle to the set speed of the governor. they either work on the fuel line or on the accelerator. Either of the speed governors never impact the engine or the pick up. The pick up of a vehicle would depend on a variety of factors which include horse power of the vehicle, contracted load, torque of the engine, condition of the vehicle and the engine, no. of kilometers run, condition of the roads etc.
