Samenvatting

The usual form of coupling connecting tractor and trailer units of an articulated vehicle combination permits an increasing amount of trailer roll as the articulation angle increases, a defect which can be avoided by inverting the coupling. Tests have been carried out to assess the benefits from this modification in the case of road tankers of relatively stable design (low centre of gravity).
