Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / towing/semi-trailers

German term or phrase: D-Wert or Deichselwert

I don't have any real context "D-Wert der Kupplung" appears in a table. Kupplung refers to a coupling for semi-trailers on the back of a truck. There is a nice explanation of D-Wert on wikipedia, but no English translation.

Can anyone help?

TIA

Reference: D-value / 'D' value

Reference information:
UK:
Any vehicle requiring an approved towbar also requires an appropriately approved towball. Towball 'D' and 'S' values must match or exceed the towbar 'D' and 'S' values.
Type Approved towbars and towballs can be identified by the presence of a Type Approval label which must be visible even when the product is fitted to the vehicle. This label will have as a very minimum, the product code, a 'D' value, an 'S' value and a European approval number in the form e11 00-01234. These labels must not be removed or defaced as this will invalidate the towbar manufacturer's warranty and would result in the towbar or towball not being identified as Type Approved.

Australia:
Towbar standards
Ratings should be set at the highest D-value likely to be encountered by the designated coupling.
