What is the wheelbase of a sedan?
1 Answers
The wheelbase of a sedan ranges between 2400-2550mm. Introduction to Wheelbase: Wheelbase refers to the horizontal distance between the centerlines of the axles of a locomotive or vehicle. It is categorized into: fixed wheelbase, bogie wheelbase, and total wheelbase. Fixed wheelbase refers to the horizontal distance between the centerlines of the front and rear axles within the main frame of a frame-type locomotive. Wheelbase Should Not Be Too Long: To facilitate passage through curves, the fixed wheelbase should not be excessively long. Bogie wheelbase refers to the distance between the centerlines of the axles at either end of a bogie. Total wheelbase is the horizontal distance between the centerlines of the front and rear axles of a locomotive; the fixed wheelbase, on the other hand, is the distance between the foremost and rearmost axles that remain parallel during train operation. If the fixed wheelbase is too long, it increases the pressure on the tracks during turns and may even lead to derailment.
