A HR (Heavy Rigid) truck is a vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) exceeding 8 tonnes, typically used for transporting goods or items that require a larger carrying capacity. The synchromesh transmission in these trucks allows for smoother gear changes, making it easier for drivers to navigate through different driving conditions.
The overwhelmingly popular synchromesh gearbox is the most favorable license to obtain with the least amount of effort. This licence covers about 80% of all HR vehicles.
