B60R

VEHICLES, VEHICLE FITTINGS, OR VEHICLE PARTS, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR

Description

B60R covers miscellaneous vehicle components, fittings, and systems that do not fall within more specific vehicle classifications such as engines, transmissions, or chassis design. This subclass includes safety features (airbags, seat belts, crash protection), interior fittings (seats, mirrors, lighting), and auxiliary equipment that enhance vehicle functionality, comfort, or regulatory compliance. The scope extends to vehicle-specific modifications and aftermarket accessories but excludes specialized systems already classified under dedicated vehicle technology categories. This catch-all classification serves as a repository for vehicle innovations that lack a more precise technical home within the B60 vehicle series.
