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).
In car style design terms, this is the amount of body that is beyond the wheels or wheel arches. In general, the sum of the front and rear overhangs is equal to the overall length minus the wheelbase. Typically, the rear overhang is larger on rear-wheel drive cars, while the front overhang is larger on front-wheel drive cars. [4]
β° = Breakover angle; C = Underside of chassis; W = Wheel; G = Ground; M = Midpoint of wheelbase Example of a vehicle at a significant breakover angle.. Breakover angle or rampover angle is the maximum possible supplementary angle (usually expressed in degrees) that a vehicle, with at least one forward wheel and one rear wheel, can drive over without the apex of that angle touching any point ...
The Scania K series is a series of chassis in Scania's city bus and coach range with longitudinally, straight-up mounted engine at the rear, replacing the K- (K94, K114, K124) and L-type chassis of the 4 series. The K series was first presented on Busworld 2005 [1] in Kortrijk, Belgium, and models were available from 2006.
The terms "dynamic envelope" or "kinematic envelope" – which include factors such as suspension travel, overhang on curves (at both ends and middle) and lateral motion on the track – are sometimes used in place of loading gauge. [citation needed] The railway platform height is also a consideration for the loading gauge of passenger trains.
[1] It is defined as the angle between the ground and the line drawn between the front tire and the lowest-hanging part of the vehicle at the front overhang. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Departure angle is its counterpart at the rear of the vehicle – the maximum ramp angle from which the car can descend without damage.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. single-family homebuilding increased to a 10-month high in December, indicating that construction activity regained some momentum at the end of the year, though rising ...
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
