Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if his Department has plans to legalise longer heavier vehicles.
The Department has no plans to increase the maximum length or weight of vehicles allowed in general circulation. The Department is running a trial of longer semi-trailers, which have the same maximum weight as a standard articulated lorry, but are longer. The Department has published annual evaluations of the trial, most recently in September 2018.
