I don't think it weighs 44t.

44t is the maximum total loaded weight for a lorry in the EU. (Vehicle plus load)

Here it describes it as a 44t lorry which means it's classed as a vehicle that can go up to that weight, bearing in mind that there are different licences you need to get as you go up weight limits.

I think the article has misunderstood what Renault mean when they call it a 44t lorry. If the cab alone weighed that, it would not be able to carry any load.

Thank you. That wasn't at all clear from the article I linked.

44t I believe is the weight you'd use if you want to travel between every EU country. Each individual country sometimes has higher maximums like Sweden and Finland for example, but all of them will allow at least 44t.

Yes, you are right, I wasn't aware that some countries have higher limits before today.
