Abstract
A vehicle (100, 200, 300, 400) includes a chassis (110, 210, 310, 410), a gas storage tank (120, 220, 320, 420) for a gas, and a gas storage tank (120, 220, 320, 420) arranged between the chassis (110, 210, 310, 410) and the gas storage tank (120, 220, 320, 420) and connected to the chassis (110, 210, 310, 410) and the gas storage tank (120, 220, 320, 420), the first weighing device (140, 240, 340, 440) being arranged to measure a force exerted by the gas storage tank (120, 220, 320, 420) on the first weighing device (140, 240, 340, 440).
Claims21
1-42. (canceled)
A vehicle, comprising:
- a chassis;
- a gas storage tank for a gas;
- and
- a first weighing device arranged between the chassis and the gas storage tank and connected to the chassis and the gas storage tank, the first weighing device being configured to measure a force exerted by the gas storage tank on the first weighing device.
A measuring method, the method comprising:
- determining a first measured value with the first weighing device of a vehicle, the vehicle further comprising a chassis and a gas storage tank, wherein the first weighing device is connected to the chassis and the gas storage tank, and configured to measure a force exerted by the gas storage tank on the first weighing device;
- and
- using the first measured value to calculate a weight of the gas storage tank of the vehicle and/or a weight of a gas filling of the gas storage tank.
