Dimensions and masses
The following table shows the maximum approximate heights indicating the overall centre of mass (p body and/or
equipment), with reference to the vehicle’s transverse stability.

60C - 65C - 70C 2050
b) Mobile loads
In specifications where the load may move laterally when cornering (e.g. suspended loads, liquid transport, animal transport, etc.),
dynamic transverse forces may be generated that are high enough to affect vehicle stability.
With reference to regulation ECE 111, particular attention must therefore be paid:
- to defining the height of the centre of gravity of a converted vehicle that is fully laden;
- to evaluating dynamic thrust and lateral movement of the centre of gravity;
- in considering (for liquids) the density;
- to recommending due caution in driving behaviour.
Any cases that are difficult to assess must be submitted to IVECO for approval.
c) Loads that involve high aerodynamic actions
To conversions characterised by large height and surface area (e.g.: vehicles with large advertising panels); the height of the centre
of thrust determined by high winds must be calculated very carefully.
Even with a low centre of gravity, a converted vehicle presenting a high side area may not guarantee
sufficient transverse stability and may be exposed to the danger of rolling over.

Using stabiliser bars
The application of supplementary or reinforced stabiliser bars, spring reinforcements or rubber parts (with respect to point 2.11)
may allow higher values for the height of the payload CG, to be defined for each individual case.
Work must be carried out after careful evaluation of the characteristics of the conversion, the wheelbase and the division of
transverse forces on the suspension, generally regarding both the front and the rear. Work on the front axle may be necessary with
loads concentrated behind the cab (e.g. cranes) or with highly rigid superstructures (e.g.: van bodies).
