Swedish term or phrase: broregellängd
This is a form showing information about a vehicle. One of the items of information is "Minsta tillåtna broregellängd för släpvagn". The document is from Finland, and the only occurrences I can find online are from Finnish sources. I was wondering whether anyone could please help with this. Many thanks.

Explanation:
See the first link for the regulation from Finland regarding broregellängd, which includes this as the definition:
"En släpvagns broregellängd är måttet från dragtappens eller dragöglans mittpunkt till släpvagnens bakersta axel."
"Axle spacing" is a term commonly used in regulating vehicle weights on bridges. The second link is Google hits for "axle spacing" + bridges. (This gets almost twenty times as many hits as "axle space" + bridges.)
Results for "bridge axle spacing" are at http://tinyurl.com/37jr642.
