without special attachments.
b. Wheel base 2920
mm
These vehicles must have a minimum rear-axle load of 640 kg, to
permit that they can also be driven
without special attachment. In this context, it is not necessary
to deal with the compliance with other
possible regulations on driving.
1. No further boundary conditions apply to the short front
section of vehicle, apart from those mentioned
under item 2.1., and provided that no TDI engine is used.
2. At the long front section version (only available for
caravans!) and at the short front section version with
TDI engine, it is generally only possible to increase the load,
if a calculation of weights is available for the
upgraded special vehicle and if the brake calculation shows a
positive result in the individual case.*
Observe item 2.1!
