Dimensions and Weight -> 2.2 Single-Sided Weight Distribution for Your Volkswagen Transporter Van Fifth Generation (2003-2015)

The weights must never exceed the  
permissible total weight  
permitted front-axle weight  
permitted rear-axle weight.  
When projecting attachments/upgrades, it has to be ensured that a single-sided weight distribution is avoided - in  
particular if fixed attachments are to be installed. If it is not possible to adhere to this recommendation, the single-sided  
load may only result in a maximum difference between the wheel loads of 4%.  
Example:  
Permitted axle load  
1.430 kg  
Theoretical wheel load left/right  
715 kg/715  
kg  
4% of this wheel load  
29 kg  
Permitted wheel load distribution  
left/right  
686 kg/744  
kg  
To ensure a sufficient manoeuvrability and a satisfying driving behaviour of the vehicle in all loading states, the minimum  
front-axle load must be 965 kg.
