Can a Sedan Carry 2000 Jin of Cargo?
1 Answers
A sedan cannot carry 2000 jin of cargo. For some small sedans, a load of 1000 jin is already considered overloading. Overloading can shorten the vehicle's lifespan, accelerate the aging of components, increase tire wear and deformation, hasten engine damage, make steering heavier, increase centrifugal force, impair handling performance, reduce braking efficiency, extend the non-safety zone distance, shorten the lifespan of leaf springs, and decrease the vehicle's passing capability. The damages caused by overloading to a car include: Shortening the vehicle's lifespan and accelerating component aging: The load limit of a car is determined during manufacturing. Overloading alters the original design parameters, leading to issues such as loosened rivets, detached fastening screws, and deformation of the overall frame. Overloading reduces the vehicle's service life and hastens the aging of rubber and plastic components. Increasing tire wear and deformation: Car tires are designed and manufactured based on the vehicle's total weight, with a considerable safety margin. However, when a car is overloaded, the tires bear excessive weight, causing deformation. Increased friction also shortens tire lifespan. Accelerating engine damage: Overloading causes significant damage to the engine. The increased load leads to insufficient power. Prolonged low-speed driving results in engine overheating, exacerbating component damage. It also increases fuel consumption, raising transportation costs. Heavier steering and increased centrifugal force: Overloading affects the car's handling performance. It increases centrifugal force during turns, reducing driving stability and potentially causing accidents.
