What does the curb weight of a truck mean?
1 Answers
The curb weight of a vehicle refers to its own weight. Below are relevant explanations: 1. Curb weight: It refers to the 'unladen weight'. Generally understood as the weight of a vehicle when fully equipped according to factory technical conditions (such as spare tires, tools, etc.) and with all fluids filled. Essentially, it is the weight of the vehicle when ready to drive without passengers (including the driver) or cargo. The gross vehicle weight (G) refers to the weight of the vehicle when fully equipped and loaded with passengers (including the driver) and cargo as per regulations. 2. Relationship: The relationship between curb weight and gross weight is: curb weight < reference weight < maximum gross weight. Additionally, the difference between the two is that the gross weight has a larger range. The gross vehicle weight range = curb weight + driver and passenger weight + luggage weight.
