Ombyggd lätt lastbil : Interaktionen mellan semitrailerns och dragfordonets bromssystem
Freno AB in Piteå has developed a tractor with a semi-trailer based on a Volkswagen Crafter chassis. The modifications of the vehicle that are included in this thesis work covers the parking brake system of the semitrailer, the rear underrun protection device of the tractor and the maneuvering of th...
