What is the load standard for a 7.6-meter vehicle?
1 Answers
7.6-meter vehicle load standard depends on the registered load mass on the vehicle's driving license. Typically, a 7.6-meter truck can carry an average load of about 15 tons, and overloading should be avoided as much as possible. Hazards of overloading: Overloading not only affects the vehicle's safety performance such as braking and handling but can also lead to serious accidents like tire deformation, blowouts, and brake failure. Moreover, prolonged engine operation under overload conditions can accelerate wear and tear. Penalties for overloading: Overloading by more than 20% will be penalized according to the new traffic regulations. Driving an operational passenger vehicle exceeding the approved capacity by 20% will result in a 12-point deduction; driving an operational passenger vehicle exceeding the approved capacity by less than 20%, or driving other passenger vehicles exceeding the approved capacity by 20%, will result in a 6-point deduction; driving passenger vehicles other than operational buses and school buses exceeding the approved capacity by less than 20% will result in a 3-point deduction.
