What is the load capacity of a car?
1 Answers
For household cars, the general load capacity ranges from 375 to 500 kg. The national standard is 375 kilograms, meaning the manufactured car's load capacity must not be less than 375 kg. Specific details are as follows: There are two standards for vehicle load capacity: One is the standard set by traffic and road administration, where two-axle vehicles must not exceed 20 tons, four-axle vehicles (front four rear four) 24 tons, and four-axle vehicles (front four rear eight) 34 tons. Exceeding these limits results in penalties calculated in thousands. The other standard is from the traffic police's perspective, based on the vehicle's registration certificate, which specifies the tonnage as per the factory's certification. Exceeding this limit leads to penalties calculated in hundreds. For the maximum load capacity of a five-seater car (rough estimate, exact values should refer to the manual): Generally, each person is calculated at 75 kg, and the total luggage weight at 100 kg, so 5*75 + 100 = 475 kg.
