Is the word tonelada the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The meaning, spelling, and grammatical gender of "tonelada" are identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The word can be used literally to denote a unit of mass (1,000 kg) or figuratively to mean a "huge amount" of something. The only difference is in pronunciation: Brazilian Portuguese typically features more open vowels, whereas Continental Portuguese features more closed or reduced vowels, often making the unstressed syllables sound much shorter.
