technical documentation (the so called COC document) and this also states the
declaration of conformity.

Vehicle identification number (VIN)
Maximum permissible gross weight

Vehicle identification number (VIN)
The vehicle identification number - VIN (vehicle body number) is stamped into

.
Engine number
The engine number (three-digit identifier and serial number) is stamped on the
engine block.
Supplementary Information (applies to Russia)
The full type approval number of the means of transport is indicated in the
registration documents, field 17.
Maximum permissible towed weight
The listed maximum allowable trailer weight is only valid for altitudes up to
1000 m above sea level.
The engine output falls as altitude increases, as does the vehicle's climbing
power. Therefore, for every additional 1000 m in height (or part), the maximum
permissible towed weight must be reduced by 10%.
The towed weight is made up of the actual weights of the loaded towing vehi-
cle and the loaded trailer.
123456WARNINGDo not exceed the specified maximum permissible weights – risk of acci-
dent and damage!
Operating weight
This value is only a guide value and corresponds to the lowest possible operat-
ing weight without any equipment added that would also increase the weight
(e.g. air conditioning, emergency or spare wheel etc.). The operating weight al-
so includes the weight of the driver (75 kg), the weight of the operating fluids,
the tool kit, and a fuel tank filled to 90 % capacity.
