IS 8007 : Part 1 : 2024 Road Vehicles - Mechanical Coupling Between Tractors and Semi-trailers - Part 1 Interchangeability Between Tractors and Semi-trailers for General Cargo (ISO 1726-1 : 2000, MOD)
1 SCOPE
This standard (Part 1) specifies dimensions to ensure interchangeability between a tractor vehicle and a coupled semi-trailer, the two together constituting an articulated vehicle. It specifies certain interchangeability dimensions, including those of the gooseneck contour, as well as operating dimensions related to angle values. The specifications permit the same semi-trailer to be used witheither two- or three-axle tractors.
Annex A gives interface technical specifications for tractors designed for towing high-cube semi- trailers, including ISO containers having an external height of 2.9 m.
This standard covers articulated vehicles used in commercial cargo transport of the greatest possible variety. However, it may not be applicable to special combination types such as low-bed or tipper vehicles.
This standard does not provide limitations of maximumgrossmass and overall dimensions, which are generally laid down by legislative requirements.
