64.1.                                DEFINITIONS
64.1.1.                          Refer to Vehicle Standard (Australian Design Rule Definitions and Vehicle Categories) 2005.
64.2.                                not used
64.3.                                not used
64.4.                                ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
         Vehicles designed for use in a 'Road Train' must meet the following requirements:
64.4.1.                          be fitted with a lighting supply system having a minimum capacity available for connection to trailers of 30 amps at 12 V or 15 amps at 24 V in addition to normal vehicle electrical requirements;
64.4.2.                          be fitted with a single connector for trailer lighting and signalling systems;
64.4.3.                          be fitted with resettable circuit breakers for all lighting and signalling equipment circuits; and
64.4.4.                          be equipped with a generator having a minimum rated power output capacity of 100 amps for nominal 12V electrical systems or 50 amps for 24 V systems.
64.5.                                BRAKING SYSTEM
64.5.1.                          Energy Generating Device Vehicles designed for use in a 'Road Train' fitted with an energy generating device producing energy at positive pressure must have a minimum air delivery of 5.9 L/s at 690 kPa head pressure for preferential use by the braking system when the engine is operating at the nominated maximum rated engine speed.
64.5.2.                           'Antilock System'
         Vehicles designed for use in a 'B-Double' must have an 'Antilock System' fitted to all 'Axle Groups'.
64.5.2.1.                    At speeds exceeding 15 km/h, the wheels on at least one 'Axle' in each 'Axle Group' must remain unlocked when the full force is suddenly applied on the control device when braking from an initial speed of 40 km/h and from an initial speed of at least 80 km/h on a road surface having approximately uniform surface friction on both sides of the vehicle.  This test is to be performed with the vehicle laden to both 'Lightly Loaded Test Mass 35/00' and 'Maximum Loaded Test Mass 35/00' and using the general test conditions from ADR 35/... .
         Brief periods of locking of the wheels will, however, be allowed, but stability must not be affected.
