7.2. Compatibility braking corridors

Some debate took also place with regard to the compatibility corridors to which the dolly should comply: those of the towing vehicle in front vs. those of the towed vehicle at the rear.

The group agreed that Mr. Svensson (VBG Group) be nominated as dolly definition Pilot, with support of the relevant experts.

Pilot to:

  1. Collect the existing definitions (ISO, EU directives, RE.3, etc.), and to propose proper place for introducing the definition (R13, R55, RE.3, etc. )
  2. Definition of classes of dollies according to the attachment technology (rigid vs. hinged drawbar)
  3. Proposal for requirements for coupling
  4. Proposal for requirements for braking

The group was made aware of the necessity to check the definition of a trailer (towed by a power driven vehicle).
