Traduction de «poids freiné du train » (Français → Anglais) :

Two to three locomotives are required to ascend to the pass and two to come back down and the maximum length and weight of the trains is too restricted.

"Considers that the "Eurovignette 2" Directive is an initial step towards fair intermodal competition: fair competition is not possible when the levying of charges is mandatory throughout the EU for all trains on all rail routes, while road tolls in the EU have an upper limit, are charged only on a voluntary basis without an internalisation of external costs, mostly only on motorways and only for lorries; calls, therefore, on the Commission to submit a proposal for a directive by 2008 (cf. Article 1(9) of Directive 2006/38/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2006 amending Directive 1999/62/EC on the charging ...[+++] of heavy goods vehicles for the use of certain infrastructures ) in which the Eurovignette is adjusted in line with the rail route pricing system, tolls are made mandatory for all lorries over 3.5 tonnes on all roads in the EU without loopholes, and external costs are internalised; "

objective: to know the technical characteristics and operation of the safety systems so as to control the vehicle, minimise wear and prevent malfunctions guidelines: braking, ABS, retarder, speed governor: operating principles, specific features of hydraulic vacuum servobrake circuit, limits to the use of brakes and retarder, combined use of brakes and retarder, use of braking systems on different types of road and under different atmospheric conditions, stopping and braking distance, making better use of speed and gear ratio, making use of vehicle inertia, using ways of slowing down and braking on downhill stretches, effects of weights ...[+++]and dimensions, controls and checks which are the responsibility of the driver, action in the event of failure;
