braked capacity
A railway air brake is a railway brake power braking system with compressed air as the operating medium. Modern trains rely upon a fail-safe air brake system that is based upon a design patented by George Westinghouse on April 13, 1869. The Westinghouse Air Brake Company was subsequently organized to manufacture and sell Westinghouse's invention. In various forms, it has been nearly universally adopted.
The Westinghouse system uses air pressure to charge air reservoirs (tanks) on each car. Full air pressure causes each car to release the brakes. A subsequent reduction or loss of air pressure causes each car to apply its brakes, using the compressed air stored in its reservoirs.

Towing
Is anyone thinking of using the IM6 for towing? It has a braked capacity of 1500kg and, like most EVs, should prove very capable with its considerable weight and torque. However, I understand that MG has yet to provide details of an IM6 specific towbar. Ideally, I would like to see an...- tonyrome
