Correct answer
26 tonnes.
26 tonnes. The general limit for a three-axle motor vehicle is 25 tonnes, but this configuration meets the conditions for 26 tonnes. Total mass must not be confused with axle limits: comply with both and with any lower technical or documentary limit for the vehicle. Round-timber cases and specific propulsion-technology allowances are excluded by the question.
