<br />
For the personal equipment, according to the applicable regulations, the manufacturer<br />
must use a minimum weight that is determined according to the following<br />
formula:<br />
Formula<br />
Explanation<br />
Minimum weight M (kg) = 10 x N + 10 x L<br />
N = maximum number of people including the driver, as stated by the manufacturer<br />
L = total length of the vehicle in metres<br />
4.3.2 Calculating the payload<br />
The payload calculation at the factory is partly based on all-inclusive<br />
<br />
weights. For safety reasons, the maximum permissible gross weight in<br />
a laden condition must not be exceeded.<br />
Only the maximum permissible gross weight and the mass in a ready-todrive<br />
condition, not the actual weight of the vehicle, is stated in the<br />
<br />
vehicle documents. For your own safety, we recommend that you have<br />
your loaded vehicle (with passengers) weighed on a public weighbridge<br />
before you set out on your journey.<br />
The payload (see section 4.3.1) is the difference in weight between<br />
Maximum permissible gross weight in a laden condition and<br />
<br />
Vehicle mass complete in a ready-to-drive condition.<br />
<br />
Example for calculating<br />
the payload<br />
Maximum permissible gross weight according<br />
to vehicle documents<br />
Mass in kg to be<br />
calculated<br />
3500<br />
Vehicle mass in a ready-to-drive condition,<br />
including basic equipment in accordance<br />
with vehicle documents - 3070<br />
This results in a permissible payload<br />
of 430<br />
Conventional load e.g.: 3 persons each<br />
weighing 75 kg<br />
- 225<br />
Additional equipment - 40<br />
For the personal equipment this results<br />
in<br />
= 165<br />
