This notice proposes amendments to FMVSS Nos. 105 Hydraulic Brake Systems and 135, Passenger Car Brake Systems, to accommodate electric vehicles. The proposal is based on a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM; Notice 7) published on January 15, 1993, and responds to comments submitted to that notice. Amendments of FMVSS No. 105 based on this FSNPRM (Notice 10) would apply to electric trucks, buses, and multipurpose passenger vehicles. They would also apply to electric passenger cars which had not availed themselves of the option of conforming to FMVSS No. 135, which will become mandatory for all passenger cars manufactured on and after September 1, 2000.
