English term

ground clearance

GBK English to Slovak Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks
Definition from autoevolution:
Ground clearance is the measurement from the lowest-hanging point under a vehicle (usually a differential, part of the suspension or the exhaust system) towards the ground. A high ground clearance allows a vehicle to drive more easily off-road or through heavy snow without damaging the underbody.
Example sentences:
The decks are also designed with a shallow breakover angle. This allows us to load cars with low ground clearance such as race or rally cars. (Locargo)
It is important for 4x4s and other off-road vehicles to have sufficient ground clearance when being driven off the beaten track. Irregular or unpredictable terrain can damage the underside of the car if the ground clearance is too low. Many off-roaders are fitted with underbody protection as a result. (Parker's)
Aside from the high approach and departure angles and ground clearance, the H2 was an early showcase of brake-based four-wheel traction control and variable throttle progression, in addition to the more common locking center and rear differentials. (cars.com)

Definition from own experience or research:
vzdialenosť medzi najnižšou časťou podvozku a terénom
Example sentences:
Športové naladenie uprednostňuje dynamické jazdné vlastnosti, má tuhšie tlmiče aj pružiny a Passat s ním je posadený o 15 mm nižšie. Naopak, paket pre horšie cesty zabezpečuje lepšie odfiltrovanie nerovností, má mäkšie pružiny a tlmiče. Svetlá výška Passatu s týmto podvozkom je oproti štandardnému zvýšená o 20 mm. (Auto-moto magazín a Profi auto)
„Svetlá výška medzi nápravami“ je najkratšia vzdialenosť medzi rovinou vozovky a najnižším pevným bodom vozidla. (Konsol. rezolúcia o konštrukcii vozidi)
