metric ton

Noun

 * 1)  A unit of mass equal to 1000 kilograms, about 2204.6 pounds avoirdupois.

Usage notes
Infrequently used in Commonwealth countries (including Britain) in contexts where confusion might arise between the metric ton and the traditional English tons of 2000 or 2240 pounds, in which case tonne is preferred.
