1. What does atv mean
The full name of ATV is All Terrain Vehicle, which is an all-terrain four-wheel off-road locomotive, commonly known as “ATV”. The appearance is generally no canopy, with two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, the vehicle is simple and practical, and has good off-road performance. The atv structure is fully open, using the engine of the motorcycle and the steering handle of the motorcycle, and many parts are common to the motorcycle, so some people call it a “quad motorcycle”.
Second, what does utv mean
The full name of UTV is Utility Vehicle, commonly known as “Farmer’s Vehicle”, and many domestic players call it an all-terrain vehicle. It can be used in various scenarios such as mines, fields, beach off-road, mountain cargo, farm operations and so on.
UTV is a model derived from ATV, which is more like a car than ATV. Because it is controlled by the steering wheel, accelerator, and pedal, and there are also four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive, it feels more like an off-road vehicle.
In addition, UTVs are also equipped with protective measures such as roll cages and seat belts, which can be said to be an upgraded version of ATVs.
Third, the difference between atv and utv
Both ATV and UTV belong to all-terrain vehicles. Even so, there is still a difference between the two in terms of shape and structure. There is a big difference.
1. From the appearance
ATV is an open drive, without a cockpit canopy, using the faucet handle to steer, not as professional as a UTV The roll cage and safety system are a bit like a walk-behind tractor or a quad bike.
The UTV is a semi-enclosed cab (actually a roll cage similar to a racing car), with a steering wheel and an open box at the rear. The initial positioning is mainly for agricultural and forestry production. Tool carts, UTVs designed for off-road enthusiasts have enhanced power and safety, including roll cages, racing seats, multi-point seat belts, etc. are standard.
2. From the point of view of personnel carrying capacity
The motorcycle riding method of ATV determines that it can only take one person at most, and most UTVs are equipped with 2-4 car seats, can take 2-4 people.
For most off-road players, UTV is the ultimate off-road artifact, because the wheelbase is less than 2 meters, and the self-weight is only hundreds of kilograms, coupled with the ultra-long suspension travel and the “sky-defying” thrust-to-weight ratio “The differential design of the four-wheel continuous output makes it passable and interesting in the field, killing all hard-core off-road vehicles on the market.
