Abstract
A method for determining the mass m of a motor vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle, is based on the principles of power mechanics. In order to determine the vehicle mass in a simple way as accurately as possible while driving, a speed v of the motor vehicle is determined and a drive power Pof the motor vehicle is determined. The mass m of the motor vehicle can then be determined from the speed v and the drive power P. A device applies such a method, and a motor vehicle includes such a device.
