English term

drive

English to Spanish Tech/Engineering Transport / Transportation / Shipping
Estimados: Me gustaría que me dieran sus opiniones para poder llegar a una conclusión. Es un examen para personas que deben transportar mercaderías peligrosas x aire. Dentro de una serie de preguntas (no relacionadas entre sí) tengo esta. Por favor, si a alguno se le ocurre a qué puede referirse, porque a mi realmente no dada la amplitud del termino. Desde ya muchas gracias.

La pregunta reza así (y juro que sin otro contexto):
"Which other regulation will you have to apply when a drive is requested?!
