- Design Notes:
- The chassis design presumes that he structural properties of the superstructure compliment and enhance the chassis
mechanical performance. Hence, regulatory criteria is achieved by the composite whole. The customer should be aware that unbalanced or
uneven loads applied to different areas of the chassis may have an adverse effect on chassis performance.
