This document specifies the dimensional requirements for the interchangeability of the mechanical connection between a traction wagon with a traction bar trailer fitted with a traction bar connector at the rear. This document applies to car trains consisting of a tractor trailer and a tractor wagon with a traction bar connector mounted on the rear.
This document does not apply to special car trains where the traction bar connector is mounted on the front lower part of the tractor wagon, where a closed coupling device is fitted and can be extended.
Note: The car train models that meet the requirements of this document (see Appendix A) are not interchangeable with the car train models that meet the requirements of GB/T41651.
