Under the class 1 full-licence zero-emission vehicle exception, what is the maximum gross laden weight (GLW) of the vehicle?

It does not raise the ordinary limit for all vehicles. Here zero-emission means powered solely by externally supplied electricity or hydrogen fuel cells, not an ordinary hybrid. GLW is not unladen weight.
