German term or phrase: Zuladungsverlust
Wasserstoff kann in wenigen Minuten getankt werden und ermöglicht aufgrund der Energiedichte derzeit höhere Reichweiten als BEV, trotz des niedrigeren Wirkungsgrades. Wie beim Dieselfahrzeug hält sich der Zuladungsverlust in Grenzen.

English translation:hydrogen vehicles have similar payload and cargo volumes as comparable vehicles
Explanation:
You're not actually losing anything here. As far as I understand, this is about hydrogen vehicles achieving a similar performance without affecting the payload and cargo volume any more than diesel engines do - which is actually very little.

see here:
the hydrogen van offers the same payload and cargo volume as the equivalent internal combustion engine (ICE) model (up to 1,100kg and 6,100 litres respectively).

My suggestion is to rephrase that sentence.

Hi Andrew
Yes, I like that, too! I think it would work.

Payload loss


Explanation:
https://www.transportenvironment.org/sites/te/files/publicat...

Many governments have set ambitious targets for CO2 reduction. For light-duty cars and trucks, battery powered electric vehicles may be an appropriate choice. But for heavy duty transport, fuel cell power provides greater range, higher effective payloads and faster refuelling—which means greater route flexibility, less downtime and more efficient utilization of existing resources.

....... Higher Payload: The conventional 26 tonne diesel RCV has a payload capability of 10 tonnes. Trucks without the capability to haul the required payload cause the waste management company to deploy additional vehicles, pay overtime labour rates for extended hours, operate multiple shifts, or take the risk of operating their vehicles over the legal weight limit. We estimate the fuel cell RCV with 30kg of hydrogen has a payload between 9.6 and 9.8 tonnes (ie: minimal payload loss compared to a battery RCV). This compares to an estimated *payload loss* of up to a tonne for a pure battery RCV with 300kWh battery.
