Relief

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Under been downsized refers to the subsequent reduction of the maximum mass of vehicles with respect to the initial standard state.

This measure can be useful for the following reasons:

The reduced gross vehicle weight must be entered in the vehicle documents. Since the vehicle remains technically unchanged, the payload is reduced by the amount of the load. It is important to ensure that a reasonable payload is retained even after the load has been reduced.

The changed, ie the permitted total weight (registration certificate Part I "F1, F2") must not be less than 125% of the empty weight entered under "G". The application for a reduction in load can be submitted to an officially recognized monitoring organization in accordance with Annex VIII b StVZO ( TÜV , GTÜ , DEKRA etc.). Submission of the registration certificate I is sufficient. A new nameplate must be requested from the vehicle manufacturer . The certificate that is then issued must be presented together with the new nameplate to the approval authority, which will issue a new approval certificate I.

Loading the vehicle to the original gross vehicle weight prior to unloading generally constitutes overloading, which is subject to a fine .
