Calculate the DMC of the kit

Find the maximum GVW of the trailer you can tow with your vehicle in section O.1 in the registration certificate of your car. The GVW of our trailers must not be greater than the value that appears in this box.

Example calculation of the GVW of a set of vehicles:

Check the permissible total weight of your vehicle and use the formula below.

  • Driving license category B – GVW of the trailer: e.g. 1600 kg + GVW of your car X = maximum 3500 kg
  • Driving license category B96 – GVW of the trailer, e.g. 1600 kg + GVW of your car X = maximum 3500-4250 kg
  • Driving license category B + E – GVW of the trailer, e.g. 1600 kg + GVW of your car X = maximum 7000 kg

The GVW of your vehicle can be found in the registration certificate in section F.2
