Vehicle capacity

Term explanation

Vehicle capacity refers to the maximum amount of goods or passengers a vehicle can carry. It can be measured in various dimensions, including:

  • Weight (e.g., in kg)
  • Volume (e.g., in cubic meters or cbm)
  • Number of passengers
  • Number of pallets
  • Number of cases

Vehicle capacity is a crucial factor in logistics and transportation planning, as it determines how much cargo can be transported in a single trip. It's often used in route optimization to ensure efficient use of vehicles and to avoid overloading.
