French term or phrase: vidé de pression d'air
Site safety regulations for drivers of lorries (industrial site).

"Les véhicules devront être conformes à la réglementation en vigueur concernant le transport de matières dangereuses (A.D.R.): équipées d’un échappement avec pare-étincelles, d’un extincteur dans la cabine et d’un autre fixé à l’extérieur, d’une échelle d’accès, d’une passerelle ou d’un garde-corps repliable de sécurité et être vidées de pression d’air."

I'm trying to understand what that might mean: "emptied with? using? air pressure" doesn't seem to make much sense.

The vehicles in question are lorries, but not of a particular type, although they may possibly include tanker lorries (in which case the expression might make some sense to someone).
