Tare weight: 2,230 kg (4,920 lb) Tare weight / ˈ t ɛər /, sometimes called unladen weight, is the weight of an empty vehicle or container. [1] By subtracting tare weight from gross weight (laden weight), one can determine the weight of the goods carried or contained (the net weight).
The twenty-foot equivalent unit (abbreviated TEU or teu) is a general unit of cargo capacity, often used for container ships and container ports. [1] It is based on the volume of a 20-foot-long (6.1 m) intermodal container, a standard-sized metal box that can be easily transferred between different modes of transportation, such as ships, trains, and trucks.

Dry weight is the weight of a vehicle without any consumables, passengers, or cargo. It is significantly less than the weight of a vehicle in a drivable condition and therefore rarely used. Quoting a dry weight can make a car's weight and power-to-weight figures appear far more favorable than those of rival cars using curb weight. [4] [5]
