Division 10.3.1

The sum of the braking forces exerted on the circumference of the towed vehicle wheels shall not be less than B* = 0,50 g · GA (in the case of Classes C2 and C3 vehicles) and B* = 0,35 · g · G_A (in the case of Class C1 vehicles), including a rolling resistance of 0,01 g · GA: this corresponds to a braking force B of 0,49 g · GA (in the case of Classes C2 and C3 vehicles) and B* = 0,34 · g · G_A (in the case of Class C1 vehicles). In this case, the maximum permissible thrust on the coupling shall be:

• D* = 0,067 g · GA in the case of multi-axled drawbar towed vehicles;

  and

• D* = 0,10 g · GA in the case of rigid drawbar towed vehicles and centre-axle towed vehicles.

F1To check whether these conditions are complied with the following inequalities shall be applied:
