The mass monitoring of assembled vehicles is mandatory to understand if the current production vehicles is in accordance with the already certificated mass and in agreement with Inovar-Auto, Rota 2030 requirements and support vehicle development special the chassis components sizing and vehicle dynamics performance. It is important to highlight that a great part of that measurements happens on the field in a not ideal condition. However, must be a natural deviation of the measured masses due to environmental influences, as the height differences between scale pads for each vehicle corner. Once that a height difference must be impact the vehicle measured mass distribution it is necessary to understand these influences on the measurements results.
