Height of centre of gravity
For the cab version and no-load vehicle, the value of the height of the centre of gravity is shown on the specific technical docu-
mentation for each model (cab version diagram).
For the vehicle complete with super structure and full load, this height must comply with the maximum values allowed by national
or international standards, in particular, Directives ECE 13 on longitudinal stability and ECE 111 on lateral stability while driving.
The following cases should be distinguished:
● fixed loads,
● mobile loads;
● loads that result in increased aerodynamic actions.
a) Fixed loads
