What????? 7.5 tonners have brakes???? If they do, I have never seen them being used. What do you want to know for as it depends whether it is fitted with drum (older models), disc brakes, with or without EBS,. How long is a piece of string?? It is not part of any test which I know of. |

Lennox ~ I don't know the distance, but taking into account "thinking distance and then braking distance we are talking in hundreds of metres and not a few feet! ~ also whether the lorry is fully loaded or empty will make a big difference.
Phone up a company who train HVG drivers, and ask them, they should have a graph of stopping distances which they could send you a copy of.
Best I can do I'm afraid. |

In the U.S that truck going at 20 mph would need to stop at 40 feet so I would assume that at 40mph it would be 120 feet. |
