ABSTRACT:
Device for determining the mass of a motor vehicle by determining the running resistance of the vehicle with the clutch in the drive train disengaged, and by repeatedly determining the torque of the engine and, at the same time, repeatedly measuring the vehicle acceleration with the clutch engaged and by taking into account the ratio of the transmission, an average value of the vehicle mass can be determined with a high degree of accuracy.
