Since the beginning of the 1980's anti-lock systems have been available for trucks, tractors and buses, too. Looking at the present vehicle population and the resulting transition period - surely quite a number of years - until all tractor(semitrailer units of a fleet will be fitted with anti-lock systems, operators of commercial vehicles will inevitably be confronted with questions about the performance and the compatibility of tractor semitrailer systems and the answers to these are of special importance in the present introductory phase of these systems. For this reason, it is indispensible to know the tractor/semitrailer braking performance and their compatibility, especially if only one part of the rig, e.g. either tractor or semitrailer, is equipped with an anti-lock system.
