Curb (kerb) weight is the total weight of a vehicle with standard equipment, all necessary operating consumables (such as motor oil and coolant), a full tank of fuel and not loaded with either passengers or cargo.

Curb weight also known as NET weight refers to the vehicle as it sits full of fuel.
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) refers to the curb weight along with its cargo/passengers.
For example a 3/4T 4X4 pickup may weigh 6000#. The GVW rating is 8800#, therefore legally your weight of passengers/cargo must no exceed 2800#.
The GVW must be increased on the insurance documents if you are towing a large trailer. Must be combined curb weight of both as well as the GVW.

Gross weight is all the chassis is rated to carry. Car + passengers + cargo.
Curb is the net weight- full tank of gas, etc. but no passengers.
