DOT for vehicles with EBS braking systems

Department Of Transport is becoming more stringent on Testing Centres, especially concerning brake testing.

In the past, vehicles equipped with EBS were tested by simulating a load by adjusting the load sensing valve.

Now, due to the complex electronic systems and sensors incorporated in EBS braking systems it is becoming almost impossible to simulate a load for the purpose of carrying out a brake test.

We recommend that if your vehicle is fitted with EBS you present the vehicle for DOT test in a loaded condition.

Owners of oil tankers and ADR vehicles should ensure that the vehicle is loaded with distillates.

We are dedicated to providing up-to-date information to our customers of ever-changing legislation and ensure that your vehicle meets all current requirements.
