Road transport: maximum authorised dimensions and weights for certain road vehicles

The Commission accepts all the amendments to the position adopted by the Council and voted upon by the European Parliament in second reading.

The text is the result of negotiations between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission. Its objective is to make HGVs and buses greener and safer by authorising weights and dimensions which exceed current limits in certain cases and under determined conditions, where improvements are currently not feasible with the limitations set out by the Directive in its current version.
