What is the maximum bumper height designated for E class light trucks and MPVs?

The maximum bumper height designated for E class light trucks and multipurpose vehicles (MPVs) is 28 inches. This specification is established to ensure that vehicles are designed with appropriate height limitations to promote safety in collisions and to maintain consistency across different types of vehicles. A lower bumper height can help reduce the risk of injury to pedestrians and improve the vehicle's ability to absorb impact during accidents, as it aligns better with the average height of the human body.

The regulation of bumper heights also assists in standardizing vehicle design across manufacturers, providing a level playing field regarding safety features and vehicle performance. By adhering to these height specifications, it ensures that E class light trucks and MPVs can operate effectively within the safety guidelines established by regulatory authorities.
