INTRODUCTION

The Government of India felt the need for a permanent agency to expedite the
publication of standards and development of test facilities in parallel when the
work on the preparation of the standards is going on, as the development of
improved safety critical parts can be undertaken only after the publication of the
standard and commissioning of test facilities. To this end, the erstwhile Ministry
of Surface Transport (MoST) has constituted a permanent Automotive Industry
Standards Committee (AISC) vide order No. RT-11028/11/97-MVL dated
September 15, 1997. The standards prepared by AISC will be approved by the
permanent CMVR Technical Standing Committee (CTSC). After approval, the
Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), Pune, being the secretariat of
the AIS Committee, has published this standard. For better dissemination of this
information ARAI may publish this document on their Web site.

The need for transportation of heavy and over-dimensional cargo is increasing

continuously due to big projects and advancement in technology. Multi axle
modular hydraulic trailer (MHT) is trailer module intended for transportation of
indivisible heavy or over-dimensional cargo.

Ministry had received representations from Hydraulic Trailers Owners

Association (HTOA) regarding the difficulties in registration of operation of their
trailers in various states. Accordingly MORTH directed to modify CMVR
provisions. Committee formed under Director ARAI formulated the norms, these
norms are issued in the form of notifications by MORTH viz. GSR 212 (E) and
SO 1434 (E) and are established under CMVR. Notification SO 1434 (E) is
superseded by SO 3467(E) dated 16th July 2018 and SO 3881 (E) dated 6th August
2018.

MORTH further directed to formulate Automotive Industry Standard on the subject.

While formulating AIS, to have combination of puller tractor and modular

hydraulic trailer more road worthy and to facilitate administrative procedures
following minimum requirements are added compared to the above notifications:

1. Maneuverability requirements
2. Draw bar Coupling
3. Draw Bar Eye
4. EMC/EMI: If fitted with electronic components
5. Technical specifications to be submitted while type approval
6. Clarity on registration procedure

The AISC panel and the Automotive Industry Standards Committee (AISC)
responsible for preparation of this standard are given in Annexure-3 and
Annexure-4 (To be included).
