For the personal equipment, according to the applicable regulations, the man-
ufacturer must use a minimum weight that is determined according to the fol-
lowing formula:
Formula
Minimum weight M (kg) = 10 x N + 10 x L
Explanation
N = maximum number of people including the driver, as stated by the manu-
facturer
L = total length of the vehicle in metres
3.3.2
Calculating the payload
The payload (see section 3.3.1) is the difference in weight between
z
the maximum permissible gross weight in a laden condition and
z
the actual weight.
The calculation of the payload from the difference between the maximum per-
missible gross weight in laden condition and the actual weight specified by the
manufacturer is however only a theoretical value.
Only if the vehicle is weighed with full tanks (fuel and water), full gas bottles
and complete additional equipment on a public weighbridge, can the actual
payload be determined.
To do this, proceed as follows:
First only drive the vehicle on to the weighbridge with the front wheels and
have it weighed.
Then drive the vehicle on to the weighbridge with the back wheels and have
it weighed.
X
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.
X
The maximum permissible gross weight and the weight including special
equipment fitted at the factory (actual weight) is shown in the vehicle
documents, but not the weight of the loaded vehicle (see section 3.3.1).
For your own safety, we recommend that you have your loaded vehicle
(with all passengers, luggage and personal objects) weighed on a public
weighbridge before you set out on your journey.
