The draft covers road trains with a gross weight exceeding 64 tonnes

Swedish Transport Agency regulations and general advice (TSFS 2017:XX) on automotive engineering requirements for road trains with a gross weight exceeding 64 tonnes

The regulations contain safety and accessibility-based requirements on road trains with a gross weight exceeding 64 tonnes. The entities assumed to be affected by the regulations are primarily vehicle manufacturers, bodywork companies, hauliers, and insurance companies. Inspection companies and the Swedish Police Authority are also affected. The intention of the regulations, by imposing requirements on road trains, is to ensure that there is no detriment to the current level of road safety requirements and that the transportation system in general is not adversely affected in terms of limited accessibility or availability for other road users.
