Correct answer
44 tonnes.
44 tonnes for this five-axle configuration. The current Annex IX table places motor vehicles with two or more axles and semi-trailers with three or more axles under that general limit. The former 42-tonne figure for certain combined-transport operations is not the current general limit. Also observe axle limits, technically permissible masses and the authorised MAM in the documents; increases in the annex notes have conditions and are excluded in the question.
