Removed:The weight of 5-axle rigid trucks generally ranges between 32 tonnes and 36 tonnes across Member States and their maximum length is 12 meters. The harmonisation of their maximum weight is welcome but 40 tonnes (+2 tonnes with zero emission technology) would mean too much weight for the rigidity of the vehicles and the short distance between the axles, which incurs greater road wear.

Added:Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 20, Article 10k –paragraph 4: For the purposes of this Article, a crisis means an exceptional, unexpected and sudden, natural or man-made event of extraordinary nature and scale that takes place inside or outside of the Union, with significant direct or indirect impacts on the area of road transport or the economy or welfare, including safety, of the Union citizens, where the normal functioning of society is significantly disrupted, and where the public interest requires urgent action to be taken.;

They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions. When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication.
