This legislation may since have been updated - see the latest available (revised) version
An air drag family is characterized by design and performance parameters. These shall be common to all vehicles within the family. The manufacturer may decide which vehicles belong to an air drag family as long as the membership criteria listed in paragraph 4 are respected. The air drag family shall be approved by the approval authority. The manufacturer shall provide to the approval authority the appropriate information relating to the air drag of the members of the air drag family.
In some cases there may be interaction between parameters. This shall be taken into consideration to ensure that only vehicles with similar characteristics are included within the same air drag family. These cases shall be identified by the manufacturer and notified to the approval authority. It shall then be taken into account as a criterion for creating a new air drag family.
In addition to the parameters listed in paragraph 4, the manufacturer may introduce additional criteria allowing the definition of families of more restricted size.
Same cabin width and body in white geometry up to B-pillar and above the heel point excluding the cab bottom (e.g. engine tunnel). All members of the family stay within a range of ± 10 mm to the parent vehicle.
Same roof height in vertical Z. All members of the family stay within a range of ± 10 mm to the parent vehicle.
Same height of cabin over frame. This criterion is fulfilled if the height difference of the cabins over frame stays within Z < 175mm.
The fulfillment of the family concept requirements shall be demonstrated by CAD (computer-aided design) data.
