What does the rated passenger capacity of a car mean?

[LeRose]

Rated passenger capacity refers to the number of people the vehicle is permitted to carry as specified in the vehicle's registration certificate, while actual passenger load refers to the real number of passengers when the vehicle is in operation. The difference between rated capacity and actual load: the actual load may be less than the rated capacity or may exceed it, resulting in overloading. Definition of a car: According to the latest national standard in China, 'Terms and Definitions of Types of Motor Vehicles and Trailers,' a car is defined as follows: a non-track vehicle powered by an engine, with four or more wheels, primarily used for transporting people and/or goods; towing vehicles that carry people and/or goods; or for special purposes. Actual passenger load: Actual passenger load refers to the real number of passengers being carried, which is an actual value. When the actual passenger load exceeds the rated capacity, it is called overloading. The rated capacity is not necessarily the actual passenger load; the actual load always refers to passengers, while the rated capacity may refer to either passengers or cargo being transported.
