Terms

Technically speaking, the term "mass" has now replaced the term
"weight". However, "weight" is still the term more frequent in common
use. For better understanding, "mass" is therefore only used in the fol-
lowing sections for fixed formulations.
The maximum permissible gross weight in a laden condition is the weight
that a vehicle may never exceed.
The maximum permissible gross weight in a laden condition consists of the
actual weight and the payload.
In the vehicle documents, the manufacturer has specified the maximum per-
missible gross weight in a laden condition.
The actual weight consists of the mass in ready-to-drive condition and the
weight of the special equipment fitted at the factory.
The mass in ready-to-drive condition is the weight of the ready-to-drive
standard vehicle (excluding special equipment fitted at the factory).
The mass in ready-to-drive condition is made up as follows:
Unladen weight (mass of the empty vehicle) with factory-installed stand-
ard equipment (excluding special equipment fitted at the factory)
Driver's weight
Basic equipment weight
Unladen weight includes lubricants such as oils and coolants which have
been filled, the on-board tool set, the spare wheel or the tyre repair kit and a
fuel tank which has been filled up to 90 %.
75 kg are calculated for the weight of the driver, regardless of how much the
driver really weighs.
Basic equipment includes all equipment and fluids required for safe and
proper vehicle use. The weight of the basic equipment includes:
A full fresh water system
An aluminium gas bottle filled up to 100 %
A full heating system
A cable reel for the 230 V power supply
