Trucks with higher engine horsepower can be expected to operate at higher speeds and/or greater loads; relationship between horsepower and brake performance is shown; gross vehicle weight, "K" factor, brake lining coefficient of friction, brake drums, brake application time, vehicle stopping distance, frequency of braking and brake rating influence brake performance and must be considered if horsepower is increased.
