Categories of motorised vehicles in Sokoku

The categories of motorised vehicles in Sokoku is a basis for regulation of access, driver's licenses and insurance premiums. Sokoku has strictly regulated through categorisation, being able to carry out tenders for orders for these vehicles, as well as for import of foreign produced vehicles. These production tenders are a prime example of the planned character of Sokokan economy.

The same classification is also used on the consumer side, where not all prospective buyers will be eligible all types of vehicles. A buyer will also have to prove that they have a parking spot at their residence for the vehicle. It also regulates which type of driver's license is required to operate such a vehicle.

The different vehicle types are also a basis for infrastructure and urban planning. This means that Sokokan cities are not easily accessible for trucks, lorries and buses. This element has been taken from a Vittmarker example, in this case the city of Månsta that only designated some public roads for motorised vehicles.

Main categories

The main vehicle categories are motor cycles (sepeda), motor cars (mobil) and lorries & buses (kendaraan). These correspond with the driver's license categories A, B and C/D. The defined border between cars on one side and lorries on the other is defined by total weight, with cars maxing out at 3500 kgs. The border between motorcycles and cars is defined by the vehicle's empty weight at 625 kgs.

Almost all vehicle categories come in a passenger version (passenger cars, buses) and cargo version (cargo mopeds, vans, trucks, lorries). The passenger versions also have a limit in the number of passengers that can be transported within their category. A cycle car can have 1-2 passengers, a min car 3, a passenger car up to 6 and mini buses up to 8.

Vehicle height is defined as 4.49 m for trucks and buses, for cars it's 3.49 m

Variations

Within these categories there are different types of border between the categories. Within motor cycles it is mainly output effect and maximum speed. Bikes, trikes and quads without bodywork require the driver and passenger to wear a helmet. Trikes and quads with bodywork are usually referred to as cycle cars or motorcars, but based on their weight, size, motor output and maximum speed these are categorised in the S category.

Cars are mainly categorised further by size with limits of 349 cm, 469 cm and 689 cm car length. The same applies for lorries and buses at 10, 12, 15, 18 and 25 meters. The latter two are always compound vehicles, with the maximum size of a single vehicular unit being 15.49 meters.

Because of the speed limits on roads outside built-up areas, all vehicle categories have an upper limit in speed. There simply is no reason for a lorry to be able to drive faster than 90 kph if the speed limit is 80 kph. Similar for cars and heavymotorbikes, those all have a limiter at 130 kph.
