1.1 At the examples: for max empty weight, I propose the
key maxemptyweight. It suggests itself.
Added, with link back to this post
Here that would be called "maximum Tare weight". In the UK?
Probably "maximum unladen weight." "Tare" does exist as a word, and
is frequently used in logistics (empty weight of containers etc) but
AFAIK not in the context of traffic regulations.
Possibly not where you are.. but
"registrable light motor vehicle means a motor vehicle that is
registrable and has a tare mass that is not greater than 2,794
kilograms."
From https://www.legislation.nsw.gov.au/#/view/regulation/2017/451/full
And also in other traffic legislation in Australia...
In the UK?
"(h)the manner in which the tare weight of road vehicles, or of road
vehicles of any particular class or description is to be determined. "
from https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1985/72
That is not a traffic regulation, that's about metrology. And by the
way, I am speaking as a Brit, so native speaker and somewhat
conversant with the laws and legal system. As I said, the word "tare"
does exist, and is used in certain specific contexts. But in
connection with road vehicles, everybody in the UK speaks of Unladen
Weight.
https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-weights-explained
Ok.
Here trucks have small signs on there side, they state the tare weight
and gvw. I think these are used to confirm the vehicle is not overloaded
when inspected (we have both mobile and stationary testing).
Also tare is used to specify the maximum tare weight of a trailer that
inexperienced drivers can use, and that is a road regulation. It may
also be used for other things.
A fairly common term here.

Further nit picking..
The "Unladen weight" is usually done without fuel but in all other ways
ready for the road -i.e. includes spare tyre/s, tools, battery, coolant,
oil etc etc. ???
I think some manufactures sales brochures quote figures without some of
these to make it appear that they have greater load carrying capabilities.
Again this may vary from place to place around the world.
--------------------
I would be happy with "unladen weight" rather than "empty weight".
As for "maximum" .. I would use "limit" similar to the use of "speed
limit". So it would become "unladen weight limit".
I don't think I have ever seen a sign limiting the unladen weight .. it
is always a limit on the total weight that the structure is rated for.
So I don't think there is much point in discussing it? At least not from
my limited knowledge.
