How many meters is the length of a B2 vehicle?
2 Answers
B2 driver's license is authorized for large trucks. The maximum length of a large truck is 9.6 meters. Trucks can be classified by load capacity and length into: 1. Mini: Total mass ≤1.8 tons, length ≤3.5 meters; 2. Light: 1.8 tons < total mass ≤6 tons, length <6 meters; 3. Medium: 6 tons < total mass ≤14 tons, length <6 meters; 4. Heavy: Total mass ≥14 tons, length >6 meters. Additional information: Vehicles that can be driven with a B2 license include heavy, medium-duty trucks or large, heavy, medium-sized special purpose vehicles. Heavy and medium-duty trucks are mainly trucks, such as the large dump trucks commonly seen on roads, which belong to the heavy truck category. Large, heavy, and medium-sized special purpose vehicles refer to vehicles equipped with special equipment or devices, such as sprinkler trucks, concrete mixer trucks, fire trucks, etc.
Generally, the length of a B-segment car is around 4.6 meters. As someone who frequently interacts with various models, the Volkswagen Passat is approximately 4.87 meters, the Toyota Camry 4.88 meters, and the Honda Accord 4.9 meters. However, mid-size sedans like the Skoda Octavia are slightly shorter at 4.67 meters. When choosing a car, I place great importance on this dimension because it balances interior space and parking convenience. If it's too long, turning in the city and parking in tight spaces can be quite troublesome. If it's too short, family trips might not have enough space for luggage, so the B-segment design is quite reasonable. The length of the car body also affects wind resistance and fuel consumption, and generally keeping it within the range of 4.5 to 4.8 meters is most friendly for daily commuting. Of course, there are variations among specific models, but the average falls within this range.
