What is the difference between a two-axle and a four-axle vehicle?
1 Answers
Here are the specific differences between two-axle and four-axle vehicles: 1. Number of drive axles: A two-axle vehicle has 2 drive axles, while a four-axle vehicle has 4 drive axles. A four-axle vehicle can be either a single unit with dual drive axles and dual steering axles, or a tractor with a single drive axle and single steering axle combined with a semi-trailer featuring a rear tandem axle. 2. Load capacity: Two-axle trucks have relatively smaller load capacities and are generally used for lighter cargo. Four-axle vehicles have greater load capacities and can transport heavier goods. 3. Off-road performance: Four-axle vehicles have better off-road performance than two-axle vehicles and can travel longer distances, while two-axle vehicles are typically used for shorter-distance transportation.
