Can the Trunk Hold 200 Kilograms of Cargo?

[LeJames]

Different vehicles come with different trunk capacities, but generally, they can hold around 200kg to 300kg. Under normal circumstances (with only the driver in the car), the trunk can accommodate items not exceeding 200 kilograms. Carrying excessively heavy loads for extended periods can significantly increase fuel consumption, reduce vehicle stability, and accelerate tire wear. It is generally advisable to avoid overloading the trunk. Below is additional information on the effects of long-term storage of heavy items in the trunk: Increased Fuel Consumption: The most noticeable effect of carrying heavy items in the trunk for a long time is the added weight. A vehicle's weight is directly related to fuel consumption, and increased weight leads to higher fuel usage. Typically, for the same vehicle, a 10% increase in weight results in approximately 5% more fuel consumption during driving. The trunk's load has a significant impact on the vehicle's fuel efficiency. Impact on the Vehicle's Suspension System: Long-term storage of heavy items in the trunk puts constant pressure on the rear wheels, which can affect the suspension system. This may lead to issues such as oil leaks or reduced performance in the shock absorbers, increasing the likelihood of damage over time. Additionally, the uneven pressure on the front and rear suspension can pose safety risks, especially at high speeds. Furthermore, drivers may notice reduced acceleration when starting the vehicle, a phenomenon particularly evident in smaller-displacement cars.
