Rule/Notice/NOFO: FMVSS: Automatic Emergency Braking System for Heavy Duty Vehicles (NPRM)

Federal Register/Notice: Govinfo.gov

Type of Requirement: NPRM

Description:  This NPRM proposes to adopt a new Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) to require automatic emergency braking (AEB) systems on heavy vehicles, i.e., vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating greater than 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds). This notice also proposes to amend FMVSS No. 136 to require nearly all heavy vehicles to have an electronic stability control system that meets the equipment requirements, general system operational capability requirements, and malfunction detection requirements of FMVSS No. 136.
