A Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (SNPRM) has recently been issued for a braking regulation for passenger cars (FMVSS 135 Notice 4). The report describes testing of light trucks (not currently included in the rulemaking) to the proposed FMVSS 135 Notice 4 procedure in order to investigate the feasibility of using the procedure for these vehicles and to develop a data base for future rulemaking. Additionally, tests were conducted to measure the brake balance and the center of gravity heights of the vehicles. Thirteen vehicles were tested to cover the range of size and configuration. The report includes discussions of the tests vehicles, test site, test procedures and test results.
