Dimensions and masses
Height of centre of gravity
For chassis cab and unladen vehicles, the height of the centre of gravity is given on the specific technical documentation for each
model (chassis cab diagram).
When the vehicle is complete with a superstructure and fully laden, this height must comply with the maximum values permitted
by national or international regulations, particularly ECE Directive 13 on longitudinal stability and ECE Directive 111 on transverse
stability while in motion.
The following cases may arise:
a) fixed loads
b) mobile loads
c) loads that involve high aerodynamic actions
a) Fixed loads:

Wb
Wc = Chassis cab vehicle kerb weight
Hc = Height of centre of gravity of chassis cab vehicle (laden condition)
Wb = Body and payload
Hb = Height of centre of gravity of body and payload in relation to ground
Wt = Vehicle weight when fully loaded
Ht = Height of centre of gravity of vehicle with full load
Figure 1.5
To check the vehicle with its body but no payload use the above formula but for Wb use only the vehicle unladen weight (The
position for Hc will depend on the load and deflection of the suspension).
