Answer / vairaprakash

1. SOMETIMES PRIME MOVER(ENGINE PART) AND TRAILER GETS
SEPERATED
2. WE CAN PLACE THE EXHAUST MUFFLER NEAR THE FRONT TYRES.
IT HAS A GREAT DISADVANTAGE THAT IN THE HIGHWAYS TRUCKS
MOVES AT HIGH SPEED SO THAT TYRES ARE ALREADY IN A HIGH
HEAT IF THE EXHAUST GAS CONTINUOUSLY FLOWS ON THE TYRES IT
ALSO INCREASES THE TEMPERATURE OF TYRE AND LEADS TO
PROBLEMS.
3. TO PROVIDE A NATURAL DRAUGHT FOR THE EXHAUST GASES AS
LIKE CHIMNEYS IN THE POWER PLANTS
