How large is the turning circle of the ARI electric vehicles?

For many of our customers, it is very important to know what the turning circle of their ARI electric vehicle is.

Therefore, in this article we want to inform you about what the turning circle actually is and what it is not, how it is measured and why it is useful to know it.

1 What is a turning circle?

• The turning circle is the smallest outer circle that a forward-moving vehicle can travel at full steering lock, i.e. the circle that the outside of the bend completes.

It is usually measured as the diameter of the outer circle.

2 What related terms are there and what do they mean?

• The track circle, on the other hand, describes the inside circle of a curve that a vehicle driving forwards completes at full steering lock.

It therefore results from the diameter of the inner circle.

• The turning radius, on the other hand, describes the smallest radius that a vehicle requires for a 180° turn (i.e. when driving in a semicircle).

This is usually smaller than the turning circle, as it only describes the minimum space required for a vehicle to make a 180° turn without colliding with obstacles.

3. why is it important to know the turning circle?

It is important to know the turning circle in order to assess whether a vehicle is suitable for use in a particular area or location.

This is because it provides information on how well a vehicle is able to negotiate tight bends and corners and navigate in confined spaces.

Knowing the turning circle is also useful when planning parking spaces and entrances and exits.

4. in which situations is a smaller turning circle an advantage?

Especially in urban areas, where roads are often narrow and parking spaces are scarce, a smaller turning circle is a decisive advantage.

This is because it enables effortless navigation and fast parking even in tight spaces.

A smaller turning circle also proves to be a helpful feature in winding factory halls, as it makes maneuvering and maneuvering in tight spaces easier.
