In public goods transport, what MAM threshold applies to heavy vehicles for an MDP authorisation?

Correct answer

MAM exceeding 3,500 kg.

A MAM exceeding 3,500 kg. MDP authorisation permits transport using heavy vehicles; ROTT Article 109 sets access requirements for public goods transport in vehicles that can exceed 3.5 tonnes MAM. The threshold concerns maximum authorised mass, not payload or actual weight on a journey. This alone does not obtain an authorisation: the other applicable requirements must also be met.
