Transverse stability

Transverse stability refers to a vehicle's ability to resist sideways tilting or rolling when subjected to external forces, such as cornering or uneven surfaces. It ensures the vehicle remains upright and balanced, preventing it from tipping over or losing control during turns or irregular terrain. This stability depends on factors like the vehicle’s center of gravity, track width (distance between wheels), and suspension design. Good transverse stability allows for safer, smoother handling by keeping the vehicle stable in side-to-side motion, especially during aggressive maneuvers or on challenging surfaces.
