Is the Curb Weight of a Car the Same as Its Total Weight?
1 Answers
The curb weight of a car is not the same as its total weight. Below is a detailed introduction to the curb weight of a car: 1. The so-called curb weight of a car refers to the weight of the car when it is fully equipped according to the factory's technical conditions (such as spare tires, tools, etc.) and all fluids are filled. This is an important design indicator for a car. This indicator must be both advanced and practical. It is closely related to the car's design level, manufacturing level, and industrialization level. 2. Under the same model conditions, the better the design method, the higher the production level, and the higher the level of industrialization, the lower the curb weight will be. 3. The gross vehicle weight (G) refers to the weight of the car when it is fully equipped and loaded with passengers (including the driver) and cargo as specified. 4. Gross vehicle weight = curb weight + driver and passenger weight + luggage weight. For buses, gross vehicle weight = curb weight + driver and passenger weight + luggage weight + accessory weight. For trucks, gross vehicle weight = curb weight + driver and assistant weight + luggage weight.
