What is Gross Vehicle Weight called in Belgium?
Belgian regulations generally distinguish the vehicle's actual laden mass from its maximum authorised mass. The maximum authorised mass is commonly abbreviated as MTM in Dutch and MMA in French.
Is Gross Vehicle Weight the same as MTM in Belgium?
No. Gross Vehicle Weight refers to what the vehicle actually weighs when loaded at a particular moment. MTM is the maximum authorised mass that the vehicle is permitted to have when loaded.
Why does MTM matter for Belgian driving licences?
The maximum authorised mass is used to determine which driving-licence category is required. For example, category B normally covers passenger vehicles with an MTM of no more than 3500 kg, subject to the applicable passenger and trailer rules.
