Trucks that emit no greenhouse gases and trucks in intermodal use are to be allowed to transport heavier loads in the future. Since the technology used in battery-electric commercial vehicles is particularly heavy, a 40-ton zero-emission vehicle, for example, is to have a permissible gross weight of 41 tons in the future. Under certain conditions, the permitted total weight of zero-emission vehicles is even to be increased by four tons. This is the proposal of the Commission for Weights and Measures in Freight Transport, which is to be decided today and is available to Table.Media.
