A.2 GENERAL STANDARDS FOR SECURING THE BODY TO THE CHASSIS
Particular attention must be paid to the connection points of the chassis elements to the side of the bodywork: since these connec-
tion points must ensure a perfect transmission of stress.
At the same time, a localised application of stress determining high pressure on the connection points must be avoided.
The bodywork structure must be considered a load bearing unit together with the chassis: the bending, torsion and thrust stresses
must be absorbed by the unit.
This layout is made necessary by the relative flexibility of the chassis. Please contact the IVECO Quality Department for any relev-
ant queries.
The outfitting can be secured to the bodywork by means of welding or retainers to be screwed in and tightened.
Mixed type of connections are not recommended.
In any case, securing the bodywork elements must be carried out using intermediate plates.
A.3 BODYWORK CONSTRUCTION
This chapter provides instructions for the construction of the bodywork, with the most important technical and regulatory aspects.
Defining the bodywork is left to the Body builder's criterion depending on requirements.
Main dimensions
The entry and exit angles for all vehicles must be equal to or greater than 7
°
.
Bodywork construction must allow a steering radius as prescribed by Standard 107/ECE or by the equivalent Standard in force in
the country where the registered vehicle will be used.
The vehicles must be equipped with mudflaps at the back of each wheel to a height of 75 mm from the ground.
The bodywork configuration must allow for inspection of the vehicle identification number.
Internal configuration and vehicle capacity
The surface area available for the number of seats for each class of vehicle must comply with prescriptions of Standard 107/ECE or
the Standard for the country where the vehicle will be sold.
Driver's seat characteristics
Heating
There must be a sufficient number of hot air vents to demist the windscreen.
Sun visor
The driver must be able to make use of a sun visor, the height of which can be adjusted while driving and can be tilted. A wind up
sun blind or partially or totally coloured glass can also be fitted.
