1 Answers
According to the 'Regulations on the Management of Over-Limit Transport Vehicles Driving on Highways', the weight limit for a three-axle truck on the highway is 25 tons, and for a three-axle articulated vehicle, it is 27 tons. The following are the types of three-axle vehicles: 1. Three-axle truck: A three-axle truck has three axles and multiple drive shafts. The drive shaft is the component that transmits the driving force from the engine to the driving wheels. Here, 'axle' refers to the connecting bridge between the two wheels, and the three-axle configuration is suitable for FR (front-engine, rear-wheel-drive) vehicles. Each articulated vehicle typically consists of a tractor unit towing different trailers. 2. Three-axle articulated vehicle: Three-axle articulated vehicles played a significant role in transporting military supplies during wartime.
