The Towing Vehicle
Kerb Weight There are two definitions for towing vehicle
kerbweight. These are:
1. As defined in the Road Vehicle (Construction
and Use Regulations 1986:
The weight of the towing vehicle as it leaves the
manufacturer with a full tank of fuel, adequate
fluids for normal operation (lubricants, oils, water
etc) and its standard set of tools and equipment. It
does not include the weight of the driver, occupants
or load.
2. As defined by EU Directive 95/48/EC (issued in
September 1995):
The weight of the vehicle as it leaves the
manufacturer with its fuel tank 90% full, all the
necessary fluids for normal operation (lubricants,
oils, water etc), a nominal driver weight of 68kg
and 7kg of luggage.
Vehicle manufacturers will tend to use the second
definition in official documentation, since this is the
one required by the regulations they have to meet to
sell the vehicle Europewide. In publicity material
and handbooks, however, either definition may be
found, although the first one is expected to
gradually disappear.
Towing Limit A statement by the manufacturer giving the (braked
trailer) maximum weight of braked trailer the car
will tow, when restarting on a gradient of, usually, 1
in 8.
Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) The weight of the vehicle laden to its maximum, as
defined by the vehicle manufacturer.
Gross Train Weight (GTW) Often the Gross Vehicle Weight plus the Towing
Limit, but check the vehicle handbook.
