Modern commercial vehicles registered within the EU must comply with many EC Directives that form the basis of the vehicle Type Approval. Altering or converting a chassis will impact on this approval and the most critical are the braking directives. Granning Lynx pioneered the installation of additional axles to trailers and trucks/tractors in the early 1980's.
