Zapaska, jack, pump, and "no-shack" is what is most often stored in the trunk of the current motorists. This seems to be the case, although the automakers are stubbornly persisting in the volume of baggage compartments. And all the buckle-seatbelts began.

History of the emergence and development of the boot

A trunk is referred to as a compartment in a body or passenger compartment. It is intended for the accommodation and transportation of baggage. This office is equipped with almost all vehicles, except for commercial vans.

Until the beginning of the twentieth century, there was no trunk in cars

Until the beginning of the twentieth century, there was no trunk in cars, because the vehicles were originally used for walks or competitions.

Later, with the popularization of cars, the start of the birth of Autoourism was started. Travelers had to be packed somewhere. It was based on the arrangement of luggage accommodation in equestrian carriages: the anchorage on the roof or in the rear of the vehicle. And there, and the suitcases were fixed with leather straps.

The 2020s marked the rise of the predecessor of the current wagon-wagon body. It was a cool body specially designed to transport the luggage from railway stations to the hotels. Together with it, there was a variety of removeable constructions: folding metal bars, copra and whole headsets.

Only by the age of 40 the three-dimensional types of bodies began to appear: Sedan, limousine and coupe. However, the removable boot on the roof have not lost their popularity so far.

The first two-volume hatchback was born in 1965-it was the Renault R16. Its peculiarity was that the luggage compartment was located directly in the passenger compartment.

List of trunk types of modern cars

The trunk is not structurally separate from the car seat with one-and two-bulky bodies, such as hatchback, station wagon, and micro-and minivan. The peculiarity of these vehicles is that access to the luggage compartment is carried out through a separate door which is located at the rear of the body.

In Europe, single-and two-volume cars are more popular than three-dimensional sedans

The door may have a different configuration: MINI, for example, a door consists of two wings, a Range Rover from one of the Range Rover opens up, the other goes down to form a loading dock. However, most of the time, the door of the trunk is a single door that opens up. In this case the volume of boot may vary according to the position of passenger seats: modern seats are formed almost horizontally, which increases the functionality of the luggage compartment.

In Europe, by the way, such cars are more popular than three-dimensional sedans. In the case of sedans, coupes, dasters and limousines (all refer to three-dimensional), the volume of their luggage compartments is limited. They represent a compartment that is separated from the passenger compartment and has only one trunk lid that opens up.

External trunk

Don't leave the trunk out of your mind. This hinged metal structure is attached to the roof of the car. It consists of two traversals which can be fitted to the manufacturers of the raaling manufacturer. On domestic cars, as well as in old foreign cars, instead of raling-drains, which are elated rubber-emphasis with its fixation bracket.

There are also fastenings on door openings and magnets. Of course, each of them has its pros and cons. For example, the railing is very popular. However, their problem is that the centre of gravity is higher than that of the other fixation options, and the displacement of the centre of gravity has a negative effect on governance.

Magnets are easy to use, but will not protect your cargo from miscreants. In addition, the roof of the car must be completely clean, clean and clean without dirt and ice, so that this option is not popular in Russia. In addition, there is a possibility of scratching the surface of the car.

There are various variations in the roof of the roof: it can be a square framework or a popular aerodynamic cofle the latter is usually made of light and solid materials such as aluminium or plastic. There are many accessories for such luggage, as well as a variety of specialized attachments such as ski or bicycles.

Trunk classification

The luggage has its own classification as a destination. A number of types have been allocated.

And the first one is a tourist one. This type is a cofre on the roof. It is possible to put things in this hermetic tank and do not fear for their safety-rain, dust, and dirt. In addition, modern luggage boxes have a complex system of castles, including electronic locks, which will provide the contents to the security. In addition, there are different types of aerodynamic coframs-different sizes, with one or two ligis.

The next species, which is not very different from the first, is sports. Ski, snowbor, bikes, equipment-all this requires special creepages.

And the last species is a business. Metal baskets, which are often simply covered by polyethylene, are popular. And if we need to translate small construction materials-boards, pipes and so on, it is best to use the trust corners. Thus, the weight of the cargo will have to be transverse-beam, and the weight of the load will keep from shifting into corners.
