AUSTRALIAN VEHICLE STANDARDS RULES - REG 65

Relation between axles in axle group

    (1)     The axles in an axle group, except a twinsteer axle group, fitted to a vehicle with a GVM over 4.5 tonnes must relate to each other through a load-sharing suspension system.

    (2)     In this rule:

"load-sharing suspension system" means an axle group suspension system that:

        (a)     is built to divide the load between the tyres on the group so that no tyre carries a mass over 10% more than the mass that it would carry if the load were divided equally; and

        (b)     has effective damping characteristics on all axles of the group.
