2.20 REAR UNDER-RUN PROTECTION (RUP)
The maximum distance between the rear under-run protection device (RUP = Rear Underrun Protection) and the rear-most
point of the superstructure is 400 mm, less the deformation observed in the approval phase (on average 10 mm).
If the changes on the chassis require the adaptation of the rear overhang, the under-run protection must be placed by performing
the same connection to the chassis as provided in the original version.
In the transformation of the vehicle or in the application of special equipment (e.g. rear tail lifts), it may be necessary to modify the
structure of the under-run. The intervention shall not change the resistance characteristics and the original rigidity.
The compliance of the modified device with standards in force must be demonstrated to the competent authorities by appropriate
documentation or test certificates.
Note On vehicles with a GVW higher than 14 tons it is necessary to use a rear under-run protection similar to the one of vehicles with
GVW 18 tons, or choose for the opt 4667 provided for vehicles which use a 3rd axis.
2.21 REAR MUD GUARDS AND WHEEL ARCHES
On cab version vehicles without rear fenders, the Bodybuilder must implement solutions equal to those provided by IVECO.
For the realisation of the fenders, the wheel arch boxes and the shaping of the superstructure, keep in mind that:
●
the free shaking of the wheels must be ensured even in the conditions of use with chains; any indications on limit values can be
requested via the Support Service;
●
the width of the fender must be greater than the maximum dimensions occupied by the tyres, within the limits set by the
regulations;
●
the support structure of the fender must have adequate strength and be able to limit the vibrations;
●
the connection can be made
​​
on the vertical rib of the side members of the vehicle (using only the already existing holes) or
directly applied under the superstructure (see Figure 2.31).
The first and the second point are also to be considered in the implementation of wheel arches.
