Calculating the payload

The payload calculation at the factory is partly based on all-inclusive
weights. For safety reasons, the maximum permissible gross weight in
a laden condition must not be exceeded.
Only the maximum permissible gross weight and the mass in a ready-to-
drive condition, not the actual weight of the vehicle, is stated in the
vehicle documents. For your own safety, we recommend that you have
your loaded vehicle (with passengers) weighed on a public weighbridge
before you set out on your journey.
The payload (see section 4.1.1) is the difference in weight between
Maximum permissible gross weight in a laden condition and
Vehicle mass complete in a ready-to-drive condition.
Maximum permissible gross weight ac-
cording to vehicle documents
Vehicle mass in a ready-to-drive condi-
tion, including basic equipment in accord-
