Properties from Vehicle
cargoVolume QuantitativeValue The available volume for cargo or luggage. For automobiles, this is usually the trunk volume.

Typical unit code(s): LTR for liters, FTQ for cubic foot/feet

Note: You can use minValue and maxValue to indicate ranges.

dateVehicleFirstRegistered Date The date of the first registration of the vehicle with the respective public authorities.
driveWheelConfiguration DriveWheelConfigurationValue  or
Text 		The drive wheel configuration, i.e. which roadwheels will receive torque from the vehicle's engine via the drivetrain.
fuelConsumption QuantitativeValue 

The amount of fuel consumed for traveling a particular distance or temporal duration with the given vehicle (e.g. liters per 100 km).

  • Note 1: There are unfortunately no standard unit codes for liters per 100 km. Use unitText to indicate the unit of measurement, e.g. L/100 km.
  • Note 2: There are two ways of indicating the fuel consumption, fuelConsumption (e.g. 8 liters per 100 km) and fuelEfficiency (e.g. 30 miles per gallon). They are reciprocal.
  • Note 3: Often, the absolute value is useful only when related to driving speed ("at 80 km/h") or usage pattern ("city traffic"). You can use valueReference to link the value for the fuel consumption to another value.
fuelEfficiency QuantitativeValue 

The distance traveled per unit of fuel used; most commonly miles per gallon (mpg) or kilometers per liter (km/L).

  • Note 1: There are unfortunately no standard unit codes for miles per gallon or kilometers per liter. Use unitText to indicate the unit of measurement, e.g. mpg or km/L.
  • Note 2: There are two ways of indicating the fuel consumption, fuelConsumption (e.g. 8 liters per 100 km) and fuelEfficiency (e.g. 30 miles per gallon). They are reciprocal.
  • Note 3: Often, the absolute value is useful only when related to driving speed ("at 80 km/h") or usage pattern ("city traffic"). You can use valueReference to link the value for the fuel economy to another value.

Schema.org tools may have only weaker understanding of extra types, in particular those defined externally.

identifier PropertyValue  or
Text  or
URL 		The identifier property represents any kind of identifier for any kind of Thing, such as ISBNs, GTIN codes, UUIDs etc. Schema.org provides dedicated properties for representing many of these, either as textual strings or as URL (URI) links. See background notes for more details.

mainEntityOfPage CreativeWork  or
