mrsmackpaul Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Is there a reason Europe dont use B doubles and still use body trucks and a big dog trailer B doubles track better are flexible in use travel better at high speeds and you can drop the A and B trailer and grab a fresh set Im sure they have a reason just cant think for the life of me why Australia stopped using body trucks on road trains in the 70's and 80's for very good reasons although WA still use some Paul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43837-man-trucklife/#findComment-347893 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscarbel2 Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 Paul, both Finland and Sweden have had the wisdom to allow B-doubles, under the "modular concept", since 1997. https://www.unece.org/fileadmin/DAM/trans/wp24/wp24-presentations/documents/pres08-04.pdf http://www.nvfnorden.org/lisalib/getfile.aspx?itemid=260 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43837-man-trucklife/#findComment-347898 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamsterGrrrl Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Different regulatory goals... Central Europe has tight off tracking requirements which 25 meter B doubles will need steering trailer axle(s) to meet, thus they're pretty much sticking with truck and trailer combinations. Australia is fussy about roll stability of trailed units, and truck and trailer combinations will usually only meet their standards if they have a low center of gravity. Canada has done something similar, though they don't ban truck and trailer combinations they give B doubles an incentive by allowing extra weight.
