Below are relevant details: 1. The vehicle's registration certificate will indicate the standard load tonnage or passenger capacity. When driving on roads, the permitted load must not exceed the percentage specified on the registration certificate. The regulated quantity varies for different vehicle types. 2. The 4x2 tractor with 8x4 trailer is a category of commercial vehicles, featuring two front steering axles with four wheels and two rear drive axles (bridges) with eight wheels in total (dual wheels per axle). Common 4x2-8x4 vehicles include various dump trucks, heavy-duty trucks, and trailer trucks, which fall under the heavy-duty vehicle classification. With substantial load capacity, they are commonly used for construction and transportation purposes. Heavy-duty vehicles refer to M-class and N-class vehicles with a maximum gross weight exceeding 3,500 kg.
