Revision of the Weights and Dimensions Directive
In July 2023, the Commission tabled a package of three proposals for the greening of freight transport, including one on the revision of the Weights and Dimensions Directive, which sets limits for heavy goods vehicles in international road transport. The proposal seeks to promote the use of zero-emission trucks by allowing these to exceed standard weight limits, while clarifying the rules on the use of heavier and longer vehicles in cross-border transport operations between countries, where such vehicles are allowed. Additional objectives are to promote intermodal transport, simplify administrative procedures, and improve enforcement of the rules. In the European Ϸվ, the file was referred to the Committee on Transport and Tourism (TRAN). The TRAN committee adopted its report on the proposal on 14 February 2024 and Ϸվ adopted its first reading position during the March 2024 plenary session. With the new parliamentary term under way, on 7 October 2024 the TRAN committee voted to start interinstitutional negotiations. Fourth edition.
