Dear Mr. Way: This is in response to your letter of January 14, 1974, asking abou the category into which a Divco truck would fall and the applicability of Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 121 (Air Brake Systems) and 105a (Hydraulic Brake Systems) to them. The vehicles you have described are 'trucks' for purposes of the safety standards. The applicability of the braking standards is simple: trucks equipped with air brakes must conform to Standard 121, and those equipped with hydraulic brakes must conform to Standard 105a.; I enclose a sheet telling you how to obtain copies of the motor vehicl safety standards and regulations.; Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel
