What is Minimum Ground Clearance?

[MelanieRose]

Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle (excluding the wheels) and the supporting surface when the vehicle is fully loaded and stationary. The ground clearance determines the vehicle's passing ability, which is used to characterize the vehicle's capability to pass over obstacles such as rocks and stumps without collision. It is one of the geometric parameters of the vehicle's passability. The impact of minimum ground clearance on driving is as follows: 1. The greater the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the higher the center of gravity, which reduces stability; 2. The smaller the minimum ground clearance, the weaker the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the lower the center of gravity, which can increase stability.
