What is understood by the loaded mass of a vehicle?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Loaded mass is the effective mass of the vehicle and its load, including the mass of the service personnel and passengers at a specific moment. In other words, it is the actual weight of the vehicle as it travels at that instant (what a scale would show). It should not be confused with the MAM (Maximum Authorized Mass, the legal limit) or the Tare (weight of the empty vehicle with fuel and tools). Therefore, the correct answer is the one that sums the vehicle, the cargo, and the people.
