What is the difference between curb weight and gross weight?

[ElliotMarie]

The differences between curb weight and gross weight are as follows: 1. Different scopes: Gross vehicle weight = curb weight + driver and passenger weight + luggage weight, so the scope of gross vehicle weight is larger. 2. Different indicators: The curb weight of a car is closely related to its design level, manufacturing level, and industrialization level. Gross weight represents the sum of all masses. When determining the load capacity of a car, the following factors should be considered: 1. It must be compatible with the car's purpose and usage conditions; 2. The load capacity of various models should be reasonably graded to facilitate product serialization, generalization, and standardization. 3. The extent of changes to existing production equipment and production lines and their availability should be taken into account.
