Correct answer
Laden mass.
Laden mass: the actual mass of the vehicle and its load, including service personnel and passengers. Include the actual driver and other occupants present, rather than goods alone. Tare excludes personnel, passengers and load; MAM is the maximum permitted for driving, rather than the actual mass at that moment.
