After recently achieving German TüV type approval of its brake systems, VALX has also gained European type '0' approval for complete vehicles fitted with both the 22.5in disc-brake and 420 x 180mm drum brake axles.
The type '0' certificates, for trailers fitted with the respective VALX axles, were gained under the supervision of several other European authorities.
Representatives from TüV South and TüV North (Germany), RDW (Netherlands), Idiada (Spain) and UTAC (France) concluded that the VALX axles comply with all European type approval requirements for semi-trailers with different axle configurations.
The 19.5in disc-brake axle and 360 x 200mm drum-brake axle will also be subjected to the same test procedure in the near future.
