Abstract:Most commercial vehicles on the road today use
low-voltage electrical systems (12/24 volts direct
current). The current Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations (FMCSRs), North American Standard
(NAS) inspection procedures, and out-of-service
(OOS) criteria do not address the unique safety
aspects of high voltages (greater than 60 volts direct
current or greater than 30 volts alternating current)
when present on a commercial vehicle. The purpose
of this project was to identify suggested changes to
the current FMCSRs and inspection procedures to
address the unique safety requirements associated
with high-voltage vehicle systems and to improve
the overall safety of commercial vehicle operations.
A summary of the recommended changes to the
FMCSRs, NAS inspection procedures, and OOS
criteria can be found in Table 1.
