Today there is a topic that is bigger and heavier vehicles are more advantages can make in general. However, you should know that this is not always the case if we stop to evaluate certain aspects such as security , consumption and emissions, without forgetting the benefits.


In fact the more weight you have the car must be very clear that the engine has to make more effort to move the car regardless of their power (although more power to more consumption) and the rule of three just their consumption increases. However, the signature itself Audi reveals some data really curious as to each of more than 100 kilos can make from 0.3 to 0.5 l / km and emissions of between 8 and 11 grams of CO2 per KM more impressive.

On the other hand, the weight of the vehicle is a factor because when you weigh more it will cost more to move. Seen this way, for every 100 kg of weight gain that has a car, usually to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h is usually lost between 0.7 and 1 second in this regard.

Once we have seen in any way certain problems may arise in these heavy cars talking in terms of consumption and emissions, and also in performance, you should know that being overweight can also impact negatively on the aspect of security .

So much so that we can emphasize three points especially on the effects really are negative in vehicles that are overweight. In the first of these points must be borne in mind that in turns generates more inertia to be heavier, with this we mean that the car will have a greater tendency to get right if you have to make a sharp turn by the presence of any large object that may appear on the road, not counting a skid occurs so often is far more difficult to control if a vehicle conduciéramos lighter.

Another point to consider is the subject of braking, as excess weight only leads to an increase in fatigue say the brakes, in fact it is shown that for every 100 kg more than we can find that the stopping distance of emergency to increase between 3 and 4.5 feet if it is traveling at a speed of 140 km / h.

As a last point to be made ​​and never wants at any time, is if it can happen any collision or accident, always overweight causes greater deformation part of the vehicle which has suffered this blow. According to some studies, you should know that that equal elements of security , a car that I only have say 100 kg more than their risk of death from this extra weight can be increased by up to 15 percent.
