Rear overhang may present a problem in large vehicles such as buses. Long rear overhang would require the driver to pay attention to nearby vehicles when turning at 90 degrees. Since the rear overhang is outside the wheelbase, it may hit a vehicle in the adjacent lane, especially when turning 90 degrees right (in a right-hand drive country).
The short overhang at the front meant that the passenger entrance needed to be placed behind the front axle, as with the SB model. The short rear overhang was less of a problem, and the body builders usually added extension pieces to the rear of the main chassis frame, below which a luggage boot was usually fitted, bringing the overall length ...
The Volvo B7L is a fully low floor single-decker bus, double-decker bus and articulated bus chassis with a rear engine mounted vertically on the left of the rear overhang. It was built as a replacement for the Volvo B10L, and the Volvo Olympian, used as both a single-decker bus and a double-decker bus chassis largely in Continental Europe.
The Daimler CRC6-36 was a double-decker bus with a modified Roadliner driveline to take 86-seat, 11 x 2.5 m double-decker bodywork with twin staircases, the rearmost rising over the engine opposite an exit door in the rear overhang. One of these was sold to Walsall Corporation, and the other 16 went to Johannesburg.
Volkswagen recalled more than 30,000 vehicles for a pair of concerns: a potential rear camera issue and electric vehicle batteries possibly overheating. The automaker is recalling 29,569 of its ...
The frame did not continue aft of the rear axle-mounting, [5] collaboration with SBG's preferred supplier Walter Alexander Coachbuilders meant there was no worry about the body builder providing a strongly cantilevered rear overhang capable of supporting a capacious luggage boot, especially after Alexander's switch back (from 1967 to 1972) to ...
The block-stacking problem is the following puzzle: Place identical rigid rectangular blocks in a stable stack on a table edge in such a way as to maximize the overhang. Paterson et al. (2007) provide a long list of references on this problem going back to mechanics texts from the middle of the 19th century.
The Volvo B7RLE is similar to its predecessor, the B10BLE.In essence, the B7RLE is the front section of the B7L chassis mated with the rear section of the B7R chassis. . Originally, the B7RLE featured the D7C 6-cylinder, 7.3-litre diesel engine with a turbocharger and intercooler, producing 250 or 275 bhp and meeting the Euro III emission stand
