Correct answer
18 tonnes.
18 tonnes under Vehicle Regulations Annex IX. This is the general category limit, rather than the actual documented MAM of the pictured vehicle. Vehicles meeting the alternative-fuel or zero-emission conditions may have increments for the additional technology mass, up to 1 or 2 tonnes respectively. Applicable technical and axle limits must always be respected; 26 and 36 tonnes are not the general limit for this two-axle rigid lorry.
