9.3 Category systems
9.3.1 European region
Europe uses a detailed category system with 28 different categories. These categories are
broken down into 4 further category systems: Swiss10 with 10 categories, TLS 8+1 with
8 categories, TLS 5+1 with 5 categories, and TLS 2+0 with 2 categories.
In vehicle information, these categories are described as follows:
…
<Category>
<Value>ECTN.Car</Value>
</Category>
<CategoryExternal>
<Value>TLS 8+1.Car</Value>
</CategoryExternal>
…
The weight data is used purely for the purpose of describing the relevant vehicle class.
The external vehicle geometry is the definitive factor when determining the classes, not
the effective and total permissible weight.
