Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

NEW shunting/terminal tractor, model PT22, recently launched on :a the British market by the Bolines Tractor Division of Rolatruc .imited, features a rearward-opening door leading from the driver's tab to a flush area allowing fast connection and release of trailer air ines by the driver.

A hydraulic elevating fifthNheel with automatic fifth-wheel ocking and release, eliminates winding trailer landing legs up )nd down and time lost in ;onnecting trailer brake air lines.

Standard features on the PT22 nclude an air suspension system on the rear axle which reverts to solid mounting when the fifth-wheel load exceeds eight tons. This reduces terminal surface wear, vibration and maintenance.

Power for the unit is by a 125kW (1676 hpl Scania normally aspirated diesel engine with an Allison MT653 automatic box with five forward/1 reverse gears, while a ZF "non-slip" rear axle rated to 32 tons completes the drive train.
