German term

aufgelastet

German to English Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks Emissions testing
Context:

"Das vorhandene Fahrzeug ist ein aufgelasteter ... ."

This refers to a smaller/lighter model in connection with the requirement that a vehicle "will be the heaviest vehicle in the test group" (cf. https://www3.epa.gov/otaq/carlabel/documents/420r06016.pdf). The vehicle in question is not the heaviest vehicle in the test group, so I assume this means that it has been aufgelastet (loaded) to make it the same weight as the heaviest for testing purposes.

* Sentence or paragraph where the term occurs: See above
* Document type: PPT presentation
* Target audience: Car manufacturer employees
* Country and dialect (source): German
* Country and dialect (target): American English
Proposed translations (English)
4 raised or enhanced wheel load

Discussion

David Williams (asker) Apr 24, 2016:
Danke, Klaus Conrad aber was würde es bringen, ein höheres zulässiges Gesamtgewicht (oder eine höhere Achs- oder Anhängelast) im Fahrzeugschein einzutragen? Ich vermute - nach einem logischen Ansatz - dass das Gesamtgewicht erhöht worden ist, damit dieses Auto das gleiche Gewicht hat wie das schwerste Modell in der Testgruppe.
David Williams (asker) Apr 24, 2016:
The part that follows 'aufgelasteter' is just the make and model, which I can't reveal due to my NDA. Suffice to say that it is a smaller model than the heaviest vehicle in the test group.
Klaus Conrad Apr 23, 2016:
Aufgelastet heißt, für das Fahrzeug wurde vom TÜV (Dekra) ein höheres zulässiges Gesamtgewicht (oder eine höhere Achs- oder Anhängelast) im Fahrzeugschein eingetragen.
Johannes Gleim Apr 23, 2016:
With Dénis What is "aufgelastet"? Please post the complete phrase!
Klaus Conrad Apr 23, 2016:
The existing vehicle is a ... with increased permissible load, perhaps?
Dénis Wettmann Apr 23, 2016:
More context needed... Can you add the part that follows 'aufgelasteter'?

raised or enhanced wheel load

Following the discussion, it may refer to the wheel load So the admissible wheel load of the model is raised or enhanced to match the wheel load of the heaviest model of range. I don'the know, whether this can be called 'up-loaded' or not and like to express it more conventionally.
