CDifficulty 3/5

A three-axle rigid lorry has dual tyres and air suspension on its driven axle. Without alternative-fuel or zero-emission technology increments or the special roundwood transport case, what general total mass limit applies, provided its technical and axle limits permit it?

Correct answer

26 tonnes.

It is 26 tonnes for this configuration. The general three-axle limit without the conditions permitting 26 t is 25 t; 26 t also applies when each driven axle has dual tyres and does not exceed 9.5 t. Observe technical and axle limits and the vehicle’s authorised mass. Annex IX provides technology increments and special cases, excluded by the question.
