CATERPILLAR CAT 255

Shown exactly as published by the source and preserved for traceability.

EFKO code (manufacturer)iASTRA's numeric identifier for the MANUFACTURER named in position 10 (official field list: tgbasis.EFKO_H). Measured on the corpus: 4012 = BMW, 4017 = Volkswagen, 4023 = Ford-Werke, 4009 = Audi, 2076 = Peugeot — the leading digits group by country of the manufacturer's seat. 1,550 of 1,887 codes resolve to exactly one manufacturer name; the remainder reflect the free-text name and address changing over time, so the CODE is the stable manufacturer key that the name string is not. A different EFKO code (EFKO_FZ) denotes the vehicle kind — the two must not be conflated. [10 EFKO-Code]

No trailer load permittediExplicit marker that NO trailer load is permitted — the entry «keine» per the Wegleitung. Where the manufacturer simply does not guarantee one, the position stays empty and the registration office derives the trailer load from the total train weight, so empty and «keine» are different statements. The same position also establishes that trailer loads are declared SEPARATELY for mechanical and automatic transmissions, which is why the mech/autom pairs exist (ASTRA Wegleitung Grp 1-3, position 56; tgdtxt.KDLAST).

Type-approval extension: changed positionsiWhich positions of the type approval a later EXTENSION changed (official field list: tgbasis.POS). Slash-separated position numbers, e.g. "05/09/72" or "09/30/72"; an entry may instead cite a remark line ("09/Bem.05/72"), and 4,352 approvals carry the free-text label "Entzugsdatum und Begründung" (withdrawal date and reason) in this field rather than position numbers. The date of the extension is published separately as the approval's extension date. [Erweiterung TG Positionen]
