At crush load you can call it efficient, if you consider the passengers as inanimate objects to be packed and shipped. You could put 30 or 40 people standing into a tall-roof Sprinter or Ford Transit van without seats leaving a center lane clear and be around max GVWR, it would be illegal of course. Crush loaded, who knows. |
