Dear Alejandra Efron
I am not an expert on road trains, however I note that you sent your
enquiry to the road-transport-technology list. This will get the attention
of those who are experts - many of whom are in Australia (Max Lay mentioned
a couple). I look forward to hearing what the experts have to say!
Best wishes
