What is the load capacity of a minivan?
1 Answers
Minivans typically have a load capacity of around 1 ton. Introduction to minivans: A minivan refers to a type of vehicle that has no protruding engine compartment or luggage compartment at the front or rear, resembling a loaf of bread. According to the "Classification of Motor Vehicle Structure Terms," a minivan is defined as: a flat-front or short-nose body structure, single-layer floor, mid-engine layout (where the entire engine block is positioned between the front and rear axles of the vehicle), a width-to-height ratio (the ratio of the vehicle's width to its height) of less than or equal to 0.90, seating capacity of up to 9 people, and is a passenger vehicle with installed seats. Types of minivans: There are various classification methods for minivans, usually based on function and seating capacity. The 6~8-seater type (microvan) is the most common, used for general passenger or cargo transport; the 9~12-seater type (light van) requires that student transport vehicles must have 9 or more seats according to traffic regulations; the 13-seater and above type (medium-sized bus) is more specialized, as its function is somewhat closer to that of a bus; the commercial type combines the features of both minivans and commercial vehicles, but in appearance and usage, it still leans more towards a minivan. Compared to traditional minivans, commercial minivans appear more formal and business-oriented.
