Item 4: Wheelbase

- Dimension referred to in point 6.4.1 of Standard ISO 612:1978

6.4.1 Motor vehicle or trailer wheel space

The distance between the perpendicular lines constructed to the longitudinal median plane (of the vehicle) (see clause 5) from the previously defined points A or B corresponding to two consecutive wheels situated on the same side of the vehicle.

NOTES 1 If the values of right and left wheel spaces are

different, both dimensions are stated, separated by a dash, the first corresponding to the left wheels.

2 For vehicles with three or more axles, the wheel spaces between consecutive wheels are indicated, going for the foremost to the rearmost wheel: the total wheel space for right or for left is the sum of these distances.
