1 Answers
Vehicle total mass of 1850kg refers to the weight of the vehicle when fully equipped and loaded with passengers and cargo as specified. The damages caused by overloading include: 1. Shortening the lifespan of leaf springs and reducing the vehicle's passing capability; 2. Accelerating tire wear and deformation; 3. Reducing braking performance and increasing the non-safety zone distance. Methods for determining vehicle total mass are: 1. Passenger cars: Total mass equals curb weight plus driver and passenger mass plus luggage mass; 2. Buses: Total mass equals curb weight plus driver and passenger mass plus luggage mass plus accessory mass; 3. Trucks: Total mass equals curb weight plus driver and assistant mass plus luggage mass.
