(the ground is typically) distance between the center of the left wheel of the vehicle on the track support plane. If both ends of the axle when the wheel is double, double track is the distance between two center plane of the wheel.
1. track Glossary
The distance between the centerline of the vehicle wheel support plane (typically the ground is) left on the track. If both ends of the axle when the wheel is double, double track is the distance between two center plane of the wheel.
2. Characteristics of track
In general, the greater the track, the better for smooth manipulation, while the degree of styling and spacious compartment is also advantageous, better lateral stability. However, the wide track, the car’s total weight and total width generally increase, and prone to the problem of body side throw mud. If the track is too wide it will also affect vehicle safety, therefore, should be compatible with the track width of the body.
design, the relationship between the track and wheelbase usually B = K * L (B track is, L is the wheel base). Wherein the value of k is generally in accordance with the needs of between 0.55 to 0.64.

Most of the rear truck, two axles on each side of the tire is. If both ends of the axle are dual wheels, the track should be double the distance between the two center plane of the wheel.
3. The track classification
car front track and the rear track of track points, the distance between the front track wheels two center plane front, rear distance is the distance between the two rear wheel center plane, both may be the same or different.
In general, the wider the track, driving comfortThe higher, but some domestic car is not the direction of power, if it is too wide front track steering wheel will be very “heavy”, affecting driving comfort.
In addition, also the total width of track vehicles, the total weight of lateral stability and safety impact.
