Air brakes
(air to all foundation brakes)
An air brake vehicle is where the vehicle's braking system is initiated by air pressure obtained from an engine-driven compressor and transmits the pressure through a series of hoses, reservoirs and control valves to all the vehicle's foundation brakes. An air brake "Q" endorsement or Class 1 licence is required. 

Air and hydraulic braking system
(combination of air and hydraulic foundation brakes)
An air over hydraulic braking system is where some of the vehicle's axles have air actuated foundation brakes and some of the vehicle's axles have hydraulic foundation brakes. An air brake "Q" endorsement or Class 1 licence is required.
