Correct answer
12.6 tonnes.
12.6 tonnes. The current General Vehicle Regulations, Annex IX, sets this mass per driven axle for class II and III buses. Do not confuse it with the 13 tonnes for the driven axle of class I urban buses. The current general single-driven-axle limit is 12 tonnes, rather than the old 11.5; a non-driven axle has a 10-tonne limit. Lower authorised vehicle masses and other applicable limits must also be respected.
