Correct answer
18 tonnes.
The general limit for this category is 18 tonnes. This does not establish that every two-axle lorry actually has that MAM: its technical limits, documentation and axle limits still apply. Regulations provide increases for the additional weight of certain alternative-fuel or zero-emission technologies, expressly excluded from this question.
