Can Vehicle Overloading Cause Tire Blowouts?
1 Answers
Vehicle overloading can cause tire blowouts. Below is relevant information about overloading: Hazards: Research has found that when a vehicle's axle load exceeds the standard load by one time, driving on the highway once is equivalent to a standard vehicle driving on asphalt pavement 256 times or on cement concrete pavement 65,536 times. Moreover, the larger the vehicle's rated load capacity, the more severe the damage caused by overloading to the road. The maximum single rear axle load monitored in China reached 24 tons. Such a vehicle driving on a cement highway once is equivalent to a standard vehicle driving 1.21 million times. Negative Impacts: Overloading has caused significant harm to the healthy development of the transportation market. Overloading leads to market chaos, completely disrupting the basic price formation system of the transportation market. Under normal circumstances, transportation pricing is based on the cubic meters and weight of the cargo. Overloaded vehicles severely pollute the atmospheric environment. To achieve greater traction power, overloaded vehicles often drive at low gears with high throttle, resulting in incomplete fuel combustion in the engine. This leads to excessive exhaust emissions, excessive noise, and severe pollution of the atmospheric environment.
