    Kilograms of course. 400 hp is minimum required by law to pull full weight combinations but it's not controlled at all so some operators use lower hp engines if they happen to have one.

    We use both, also requirements for older trucks change from state to state, where i am in Queensland we pretty much get away with anything people have trucks as old as r model macks, w model kenworths etc, new trrucks are euro5. I prefer modern cabs for the comfort (less fatigued) but pre EGR ECM engines
