About these units
Tonne
The metric ton (tonne) was defined as 1000 kilograms when the metric system was extended for large masses in commerce and trade during the 19th century. It is the standard unit for vehicle weight limits, cargo, and commodities in metric countries.
Kilogram
The kilogram is the SI base unit of mass. Its practical size — close to the mass of a liter of water — makes it the default unit for everyday objects, while the tonne handles freight and industrial scale.
