B62 LAND VEHICLES FOR TRAVELLING OTHERWISE THAN ON RAILS
Description
Class B62 encompasses land vehicles designed to operate on surfaces other than rails, including automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, and trucks. It covers the mechanical design, structural components, propulsion systems, steering mechanisms, braking systems, and suspension technologies integral to these vehicles. The class extends to specialized land vehicles such as all-terrain vehicles, trailers, and amphibious craft when their primary function is terrestrial travel. Adjacent classes address rail-bound vehicles (B61), aerospace vehicles (B64), and water vessels (B63), which fall outside this classification's scope.
IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 8 subcodes exist in both systems.
5 shared codes have differing titles between IPC and CPC.
