Abstract
A invention at least relates to a method for determining the load on an internal combustion engine of a vehicle, operating parameters of the internal combustion engine being recorded and at least one value representing the load is read from a characteristic diagram as a function of the operating parameters recorded, and for at least one further parameter, which is recorded by a sensor already present in the vehicle and which is not an operating parameter of the internal combustion engine, being taken into account in the determination of the load.
