Owner read the minimal kerb weight off the papers: 11000 kg, half a
tonne under the prospectus figure. Update the vehicle sheet and give
the weight tracker its first theoretical budget: about 5.2 t of
fit-out allowance before the real weighing refines it.
Owner read the axle maxima off the vehicle papers: front 6500 kg,
rear 12000 kg (sum 18500 vs 18000 kg PTAC, normal repartition slack).
Replaces the labeled C954E extrapolation — front matched, real rear
is 500 kg higher. Vehicle sheet, weight tracker zero-point and the
research report annotation all updated.
Owner corrected the variant: it is the 12 m Axer (11.99 x 2.50 m),
not the 12.8 m. Sweep the repo with the researched figures: PTAC
18000 kg (official prospectus, three concordant sources — the
18500/19000 ad-grade values were wrong), PV ~11500 kg for the 12 m,
wheelbase 6270 mm, C954E axle figures kept as labeled extrapolation.
Research report annotated, vehicle sheet and weight tracker updated,
FreeCAD dimension sheet recalibrated (11400 x 2440 x 2010 interior
placeholders).
Owner read the CNIT off the registration card. This code indexes the
French type approval, the most direct path to official PTAC and
per-axle masses; the running research agent was redirected to cross
it against French databases.
Owner confirmed the long-wheelbase 12.8 m Axer. Pin it in the vehicle
sheet with the matching PTAC order of magnitude (~19 t, ad-grade,
official value still to be read on the plate), and bump the FreeCAD
interior-length placeholder from a 12 m guess to 12300 mm so the
parametric zoning reflects the right envelope until the real survey.
Owner confirmed the manual ZF 6S1600 (no Voith automatic), closing
one of the on-vehicle verification items from the research report;
engine row also pinned to Cursor 8 while editing the sheet.
The owner kept the original belted seats at removal time. Record the
reuse decision in the seats sheet (original TCP-approved seats back
on original anchor rails is the strongest RTI scenario) and update
the initial-state inventory; DREAL confirmation item stays open for
the 2003 pre-2005/39-41 nuance.
The owner confirmed the bus was first registered in 2003. Pin it in
the vehicle sheet (C956E / Cursor 8 era, consistent with the Iveco
engine) and turn the blocking DREAL question from generic to dated:
2003 predates the 2005/39-41 seat-belt directives referenced by the
RTI dossier, so original TCP-approved seats need explicit
confirmation.
The blog needed a visual identity and a path back to the source:
hero photo of the Axer on the home page, village photo and repo link
on the about page, and a git-clone nav link.
Privacy pass before the repo goes public: move the two cab photos
with an identifiable face and the seller ad screenshot out of the
repo (kept in BUS-photos-privees locally), update INDEX.md and
CLAUDE.md accordingly.
Sort and compress 18 site photos into domain folders (EXIF-dated,
indexed), correct battery model to Pylontech US3000C across energy
docs, and publish five backdated posts telling the story so far:
gear-before-bus, arrival, seat removal, sorting, energy architecture,
workbench. Night cab photos with an identifiable face stay out of the
public blog images.
