Correct answer
18 tonnes.
18 tonnes for the complete vehicle including its load under Annex IX of the General Vehicle Regulations. This does not mean it may carry 18 tonnes of goods in addition to the lorry’s own mass: observe the MAM in its documents, its technically permissible mass and axle limits. The annex provides conditional increases for certain technologies, excluded here. Axle count alone does not mean all three-axle lorries are limited to 25 tonnes or all four-axle lorries to 31: limits of 26 and 32 tonnes also exist depending on configuration, alongside other regulatory cases.
