INTRODUCTION PRELIMINAR STUDIES AND CONSIDERATIONS
MOUNTING AND CONSTRUCTION
Positioning the centre of gravity on the Y-axis of the vehicle:
The Body Builder should try to locate the CoG as close as possible to the axis of
symmetry of the vehicle. At all events, the unilateral vehicle load values must always
be respected.
See Chapter 2.3.3 "Weight distribution" - Unliteral vehicle load.
Fig. 2-25 CoG in Y-axis of the vehicle
WARNING
- The asymmetric distribution of the load on the vehicle, due to the carriage of
liquid or a hanging load for example, particularly when the centre of gravity is
in a high position, can have an impact on the lateral stability of the vehicle,
which could cause it to roll over, causing injury to the driver or other people.
- In these situations, it is advisable to achieve a reduction of the height of the
Centre of Gravity recommended for uniformly distributed loads.
- The determination of the proper position of the Centre of Gravity will be the
responsibility of the Body Builder. If necessary, the Body Builder should pro-
vide the user of the vehicle with appropriate instructions on proper load distri-
bution.
