INTRODUCTION and CONTENTS

In all cases, compliance with applicable Australian Design Rules, legislated requirements and manufacturer’s guidelines should take precedence when modifying a vehicle and remains the responsibility of the vehicle modifier.

In the following sections, details of regulatory requirements, reference documents and recommended systems and technical data relating to appropriate areas of the vehicle and general recommended practices are given. The end result should be a vehicle suitable to the operator’s requirements and still complying with regulatory and industry requirements.

This is a dynamic publication and updates will be down loadable from the Daimler Trucks Body Builder’s Reference Web page – “www.dtrucks.com.au”.

STANDARDS Specifications detailed in this guide are based primarily on data from either Freightliner Corporation of the USA and Mercedes-Benz Trucks of Germany. Consequently much of the information is presented is a mixture of units, both non-metric units or in dual US/metric units. Some US units are descriptive, forming part of the component designation, so have been retained.

DAIMLER TRUCKS 1–2 Heavy Truck - Body Builder’s and Equipment Guidelines, Issue Date December 2007

Section 1 – OVERVIEW, REGULATIONS & STANDARDS

INTRODUCTION DAIMLER TRUCKS AUSTRALIAN PRODUCT LINE UP. The range of models and variants now available from Daimler Trucks as “standard” models allow operators to select a specific configuration for their proposed vehicle application.

The collective knowledge of Authorised MBAuP Truck Dealers plus support from MBAuP personnel is available to help an operator select an appropriate configuration.

However, the range of vehicle applications and operating conditions may require changes, major or minor, to the vehicles as originally built.

Vehicle modifications remain the responsibility of the vehicle modifier and must comply with all Federal and local laws and regulations, including Vehicle Standards Bulletins issued by DoTaRS, Australian Standards and any applicable industry codes of practice.

VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS MBAuP shall not, nor shall it be obliged to, give approval to any modification which alters vehicle ratings or compliance with Australian Design Rules or any other legislative requirements and which, in MBAuP’s opinion, is not acceptable within the parameters of vehicle build level and proposed operation.

APPLICATIONS The MBAuP model line has been specified by MBAuP to satisfactorily perform a variety of applications. Any one model cannot be expected to carry out an unlimited number of functions, for example, a truck designed to carry a concrete agitator may not be suitable for continuous long distance haulage.

Over application of running gear (engine, transmission, axles, suspensions) may lead to reduced service life and increased maintenance costs. Similarly over specifying of components may mean excess tare mass and reduced payloads.

RATINGS As a manufacturer, MBAuP rates it’s vehicles – Gross Vehicle Mass/Gross Combination Mass based on either one or a combination of • Industry based group ratings – usually G.V.M. or payload ratings.

• Regulated (legislated) ratings – based on National or State limits.

• Axle/Axle group maximum loading limits.

• Bridge Formula ratings (distance between axles).

• Maximum vehicle rating – Based on the ratings of the components that make up the vehicle.

Example – Rear axle/suspension rated by suppliers at 18,000 kg.

Legal limit for tandem axle 16,500 kg.

Therefore a vehicle fitted with a 6 tonne steer axle could be rated at 24,000 kg G.V.M. by MBAuP, but 22,500 kg G.V.M. for registration purposes.

DAIMLER TRUCKS 1–3 Heavy Truck - Body Builder’s and Equipment Guidelines, Issue Date December 2007

Section 1 – OVERVIEW, REGULATIONS & STANDARDS

B DOUBLE/ROAD TRAIN RATINGS Re-rating to B-Double or Road Train level from a vehicle not originally built to the applicable specifications is outside the scope of this book.

Australian Design Rule 64 includes the requirements for these applications.

Specific inquiries should be directed to the State or Territory regulatory body or to a recognised consulting engineer.

All vehicle components have a maximum rating, and sometimes performance limitations applied by their manufacturer/supplier. The vehicle manufacturer has the responsibility of balancing component levels with their own items on the vehicle and determining the vehicle rating and operating limitations (if any) for a particular vehicle line or model.

Although some tolerances in limits may be available, the total vehicle must be reviewed when mass ratings or major operating changes are planned.

Variations between the figures quoted as the vehicle mass ratings may cause some concern to operators.

Section 1 – OVERVIEW, REGULATIONS & STANDARDS

Tyre Placard The function of this Australian Design Rule was to specify requirements for tyres and rims appropriate to vehicle load capacity, rim size and speed characteristics.

The placard details the tyres that can legally be fitted to the vehicle, their maximum load carrying capacity with the required inflation pressure for that load, for the front and rear axles with the recommend rim size.

A tyre placard was required by ADR 24/02 to be fitted to any light vehicle, however it is no longer legally required for NC trucks and therefore may be phased out. This standard ceased to have effect as from 9 December 2003.

The vehicle’s owners manual or the tyre manufactures recommendations should be referred to in conjunction with Federal and State regulations.

DAIMLER TRUCKS 1–8 Heavy Truck - Body Builder’s and Equipment Guidelines, Issue Date December 2007

Section 1 – OVERVIEW, REGULATIONS & STANDARDS

REGULATIONS AND STANDARDS – INTRODUCTION THE MOTOR VEHICLE STANDARDS ACT 1989 REQUIRES THAT ANY VEHICLE MODIFIED BEFORE ITS FIRST REGISTRATION MUST CONTINUE TO COMPLY WITH THE AUSTRALIAN DESIGN RULES (ADR’S).

Daimler Truck models intended for the Australian market have an approved compliance plate which shows that, at the date of its release, the vehicle complied with all the ADR’s applicable to Chassis Cab vehicles. (See Page 1-11) Vehicle Compliance Plates The Australian Design Rules (ADR’s) set down the performance and design requirements for motor vehicle safety and have been in place since 1969.

The ADR’s take force nationally under the Motor Vehicle Standards ACT (1989) and are administered by the Department of Transport and Regional Services (DoTaRS). The Act applies to vehicles prior to first supply to the Australian market. Control of vehicles which are already in service is the responsibility of the States and Territories.

The first edition of ADR’s was distributed for discussion purposes but was not adopted as law in National, State or Territory legislation.

The second edition came into effect on 1 January 1969. The third edition was introduced in January 1988 and became the minimum national standard in the Motor Vehicle Standards Act 1989.

The third edition of ADR’s was developed under the auspices of the Australian Transport Advisory Council (ATAC) between February 1983 and December 1986. It has since had additions and amendments to reflect the further needs of the community. The ADR’s apply to both manufacturers and importers of vehicles for the Australian market.

Section 14 of the Act makes it an offence to supply vehicles to the market that do not comply with the national standards. It is also an offence, under Section 16, to make a standard vehicle non-standard when first supplied to the market.

When Daimler Trucks leave the factory, they still require the addition of other equipment (e.g. load bodies, fifth wheels, etc.) and in some cases further modifications before they can be used in a work performing function. Such fitments and modifications are carried out by a wide variety of organisations including dealers, body builders, secondary manufacturers, specialist equipment installers or even the fleet operator.

It is important that the ADR’s are understood and complied with even after the vehicle has left the manufacturer and is on the road. This is because these rules cover safety and environmental issues – any failure to abide by them may create a safety hazard and may incur significant financial penalties. Service manuals that mechanics use to maintain motor vehicles do not usually refer to the ADR’s. However, the service manual is written in such a way that, if it is followed exactly, the standards established by the ADR’s will be maintained.

This continued compliance with the ADR’s may be seriously compromised if substitute parts are used when a vehicle is serviced. Hence, mechanics need to follow service manual instructions explicitly to ensure compliance with the ADR’s.

DAIMLER TRUCKS 1–9 Heavy Truck - Body Builder’s and Equipment Guidelines, Issue Date December 2007

Section 1 – OVERVIEW, REGULATIONS & STANDARDS

As Australian Design Rules are a necessarily complex set of standards, it is usual to use extracts, summaries or guides for public use or general circulation. The information contained in this publication is intended as a guide only.

Specific inquiries should be directed to the State (or Territory) regulatory body or to a recognised consulting engineer.* *State and Territory Transport Authorities (or equivalent body) maintain systems which often list recognised consulting engineers in reference to vehicle modifications.

In addition to Australian Design Rules, there are a number of regulatory or quality control requirements which may be applicable to vehicles entering service or which are modified. It is not sufficient for persons involved in the modification of Daimler Trucks vehicles to rely only on this guide. They should also be familiar with all relevant Australian Design Rules and other regulatory requirements before proceeding, to ensure the completed modification is fully compliant.

Information regarding such requirements may be obtained from the following regulatory bodies: VEHICLE STANDARDS INFORMATION SOURCES WESTERN AUSTRALIA Vehicle Safety Branch Licensing Division Main Roads SOUTH AUSTRALIA Driver & Vehicle Operations Section Transport SA QUEENSLAND Vehicle Standards Queensland Transport AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY Vehicle Safety Road Use Management Department of Urban Services

NORTHERN TERRITORY Vehicle Compliance Road Transport Services Department of Planning and Infrastructure TASMANIA Vehicle Standards & Compliance Department of Infrastructure, Energy and Resources NEW SOUTH WALES Standards Advice Roads & Traffic Authority VICTORIA Vehicle Safety Branch VicRoads

MODIFYING A VEHICLE The Motor Vehicle Standards Act makes it an offence to modify a new vehicle before it is first supplied to the market for use in transport so that it no longer complies with the ADRs. As a result of this, the States and Territories have developed procedures to control such modifications through a single, national code of practice that serves the requirements of both Federal and State/Territory authorities. This is known as Vehicle Standards Bulletin No.6 – Heavy Vehicle Modifications (VSB 6) which is available on the following web site: http://www.dotars.gov.au/ DAIMLER TRUCKS 1 – 10 Heavy Truck - Body Builder’s and Equipment Guidelines, Issue Date December 2007

Section 1 – OVERVIEW, REGULATIONS & STANDARDS

AUSTRALIAN DESIGN RULES (ADR) – VEHICLE CATEGORIES. The Federal Office of Road Safety has designated “road vehicles” by two character category code. The categories range from pedal cycles through passenger cars, buses and trucks to trailers.

ADR’s define the National Standards on Safety, Emissions and Theft for a vehicle. Different ADRs apply to different Classes & Sub-Classes. Within an ADR, differential standards may also applied to different Classes & Sub-Classes.

Classes:o Two & Three Wheeled Vehicles AA, AB, LA, LB, LC, LD, LE. o Passenger Vehicles (Other Than Buses) Cars - MA, Vans - MB, Off Road 4x4’s - MC. o Omnibuses Light - MD, Heavy - ME GVM ≥ 5 tonne. o Goods Vehicles Light - NA GVM ≤3.5 tonne, Medium - NB GVM ≤ 12 tonne, Heavy NC GVM > 12 tonne. o Trailers Light - TA/TB GTM ≤ 3.5 tonne, Medium - TC GTM ≤ 10 tonne, Heavy - TD GTM > 10 tonne.

The following list indicates the ADR’s applicable to Daimler Truck models (Category NC & NB2 vehicle) at time of printing. Normal practice is to use a “/xx” suffix with Design Rule numbers to indicate the release level of the Rule.

Section 1 – OVERVIEW, REGULATIONS & STANDARDS

OVERVIEW OF ADR’S Below is a brief outline each ADR rule. Because of potential adverse effects on compliance with ADR’s, the items should not be changed without being assessed by MBAuP Product Engineer as to whether the modification complies with the relevant Design Rule, or a new submission will be required following appropriate testing and assessment.

ADR 1/00 Reversing Lamps (Colour, number & location to ADR 13/00).

The function of this national standard is to specify the photometric requirements for reversing lamps which: (a) warn pedestrians and other road users that the vehicle is about to move, or is moving, in the reverse direction; and (b) aid the driver in reversing manoeuvres during the hours of darkness.
