Road load definition

Road load means the force resisting the forward motion of a vehicle as measured with the coastdown method or methods that are equivalent regarding the inclusion of frictional losses of the drivetrain.
Road load means the opposition to the movement of a vehicle. It is the total resistance if using the coastdown method or the running resistance if using the torque meter method.
