Heavy Rigid vehicles are trucks that has three or more axles and a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) over 8 tonnes.
These vehicles, can be Buses, heavy rigid tray trucks, heavy tip trucks and Semi-Trailer\u201cPrime Movers (when without trailer).
A Heavy Rigid \u2018Class HR\u2019 covers a rigid vehicle with 3 or more axles and a GVM of more than 8 tonnes.
Any towed trailer must not weigh more than 9 tonnes GVM.
Also includes articulated buses and vehicles in class \u2018MR\u2019.Heavy Rigid vehiclesare also commonly equipped with two different types of gearboxes, these are:\u201cAutomatic\/Synchromesh\u201dsuch as anEaton Gearbox, which is found to be more often fitted to European Trucks.
Drivers with manual car licence are more easily able to adapt to this style of gearbox.

\u201cManual\/Constant Mesh\u201d gearboxes such as the \u201cRoadranger\u201d require the the gear changing technique known as \u201cDouble clutching\u201d this is questionably more challenging to participants who have no prior experience with this style of gearbox.
The use of the Roadranger is declining as more new European based trucks enter the market.<\/p>
