6.7.5 Rear underrun protection
In Germany, Article § 32b of the German vehicle
licensing regulations requires an underrun protection
when
• the distance between the rear of the vehicle and
the final rear axle is more than 1,000 mm
• the ground clearance of the chassis as well as the
main body parts exceeds 700 mm for the unladen
vehicle across the entire width.
Exceptions to this regulation are semitrailer tractor
vehicles, machines and vehicles whose purpose
cannot be fulfilled if an underrun protection is fitted.
If an underrun protection is required, it must comply
with UN regulation R58.
The underrun protection must be mounted as far back
as possible.
Installation dimensions:
• maximum height of underrun protection (unladen
vehicle) above road surface: 550 mm.
• maximum width = width of rear axle (outer tire
edge).
• minimum width: = Width of rear axle – 100 mm
on each side (widest axle is authoritative)
• cross member section height at least 100 mm.
• edge radius at least 2.5 mm.
The rear underrun protection fitted at the factory
complies with UN regulation R58. No modifications
may be made. If modifications are unavoidable, they
must be clarified in advance with the vehicle licensing
agency responsible.
