The Road Vehicles (Authorised Weight) (Amendment) Regulations 2023

These Regulations amend the Road Vehicles (Authorised Weight) Regulations 1998 (S.I. 1998/3111) (the “1998 Regulations”) by making provision to increase the maximum authorised weights in domestic traffic for certain alternatively fuelled vehicles and certain zero emission vehicles, to support their uptake as part of the move to a net-zero target. Provision already exists to permit similar increases in international traffic.
