Consultation description

We are also proposing to rescind the requirement of a vehicle special order for type-approved hydrogen and gas powered vehicles.

The new Directive allows the weight increases for certain vehicles using certain alternative fuel technologies when used for international journeys.

We propose allowing operators to benefit from these weight increases for domestic journeys as well as international journeys.
