de massa in rijklare toestand

Translation

mass in running order

For vehicles of categories M and N: the mass of the vehicle with the fuel tank or tanks filled to at least 90% of capacity, including the mass of the driver (75 kg), fuel and fluids, and the standard equipment to the manufacturer’s specification (art. 1.1 Regeling voertuigen). So it is not an empty car: the driver and the fluids are already counted. What you may still load is the difference from the permitted maximum mass.
