Fahrzeuglänge

Fahrzeuglänge refers to the overall length of a vehicle. This measurement is typically taken from the furthest point at the front of the vehicle to the furthest point at the rear, excluding any detachable accessories like trailers or boat racks unless specified. It is a critical dimension for various reasons, including determining parking space requirements, assessing maneuverability, and complying with road regulations. Different vehicle types have varying typical lengths. For instance, passenger cars are generally shorter than commercial trucks or buses. In many countries, there are legal limits on the maximum vehicle length allowed on public roads to ensure safety and traffic flow. This limit can vary depending on the road type and whether a trailer is attached. When purchasing a vehicle, understanding its length is important for practical considerations such as fitting it into a garage or navigating narrow streets. For commercial vehicles, length often directly correlates with carrying capacity. Specifications for vehicle length are usually provided by manufacturers in technical data sheets and owner's manuals.
