In addition to the limits established by law, every vehicle model has its own limits in
size and in the type of body that can be mounted. Thus:
The overall width of the vehicle is limited by:
- Type of headlamps installed as standard, which should comply with the
standard regarding the installation of lighting and light-signaling devices. (ECE
Regulation No. 48).
Table 1-19 LCV_SPBTC23_005 Maximum vehicle width depending on headlamps
Type of exterior mirrors installed as standard, which should comply with the
standard regarding devices for indirect vision. (ECE Regulation R 46)
Table 1-20 LCV_SPBTC23_006 Vehicle width depending on exterior mirrors
Because of these restrictions, the maximum vehicle width reached is normally
2,190 mm.
