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.
