There are two classes of service distinguished by vehicle length:

Until the late 1960s, vehicle length was unlimited, giving rise to long vehicles to handle goods cost effectively.

The basic vehicle length can be modified.

Short-nosed vehicles were common in UK due to local restrictions of vehicle length.

This often meant additional overall vehicle length, as well as new front and rear designs to incorporate the stronger energy absorbing bumpers.

This location saved vehicle length, but had the disadvantage of feeding the radiator with air that had been heated by passing over the engine.

Thus, even a long-barreled gun only slightly increased the overall vehicle length, improving maneuverability and eliminating one of the SU-100's major deficits.

There are weight limits of 15 tons (depending on vehicle length) posted between SH 144 and Clayton.

Indian Railways term this as increased vehicle length (IVL).

The fuel and oxidizer tanks shared a common bulkhead, which saved about ten tons of weight and reduced vehicle length over ten feet.

Many combinations of motor cars and trailers are possible, with individual vehicle lengths from 17 to 25 metres and widths from 2.6 to 3.2 metres.

A wheelbase of 1650 mm supported a vehicle length of 2600 mm, on which sat an open-carriage format "Victoriette" body designed to accommodate three people.

Height limit, width limit and vehicle length limit signs are required to use feet and inches, but with metres allowed as optional supplementary indicators.

It has a longer wheelbase than the C5, but its overall vehicle length and width are less than the C5, to widen appeal to the European market.

The rollers come up behind the tires, pushing the car through a detector, which measures vehicle length, allowing the controller to tailor the wash to each individual vehicle.

The wheelbase was now extended to 2,250 mm, supporting a vehicle length of 3,320 mm and providing space for between two and four people depending on the body specified.

Due to the limits established with regards to vehicle length, most, if not all, current trucks in this classification are built with the "cab over" approach to maximize load carrying abilities.

A wheelbase of 1380mm supported a vehicle length of 2250 mm, with an open fronted carriage format body designed to accommodate two people, albeit with limited space for a third in an emergency.

The rules are simple: two vehicles show up and drivers negotiate any head-start distance (vehicle lengths); vehicles line up, the flagman drops the flag and the first one down the quarter mile wins.

The PAS line of vehicles provides the customer a vehicle length traditionally found in a BMW 7 series, but with the headroom found in a BMW X5.

This was the first series that was no longer regarded as a compact sedan under Japanese vehicle classification regulations due to the engine displacement exceeding 2000 cc, and vehicle length and width were no longer in compliance.

It is assumed that the input stimuli of the drivers are restricted to their own velocity , the net distance (bumper-to-bumper distance) to the leading vehicle (where denotes the vehicle length), and the velocity of the leading vehicle.

Germany has the so-called Bo-Strab standard, restricting the length of a tram to 75 metres, while in the US, vehicle length is normally restricted by local authorities, often allowing only a single type of vehicle to operate on the network.

For research into safety, the Highway Loss Data Institute takes into account a combination of both vehicle size and other vehicle features with all passenger cars that do not fit the definition of either "sports" or "luxury", are classified on the basis of both vehicle length and wheelbase.

This truck configuration is currently common among European and Japanese truck manufacturers, because the laws governing overall vehicle lengths are strict and the body style allows longer trailers or a longer cargo area for the same overall length than a standard truck (with an engine compartment ahead of a conventional cabin).
