Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / Emissions testing
German term or phrase: aufgelastet
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.

raised or enhanced wheel load
Explanation:
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.
