Vehicles in categories N and O and combinations thereof

Technical requirements for vehicle combinations

Adoption of the regulation is related to proposed amendments to the Decree on the use of vehicles on the road (1257/1992), under which new types of vehicle combinations longer than the existing vehicle combinations would be approved for use in traffic. It is proposed that the Decree set out the maximum authorised dimensions, masses, manoeuvrability requirements for the aforementioned vehicle combinations and requirements for the equipment and coupling of the vehicle combinations. (Notification number: 2018/285/FIN)

By virtue of § 27 a(2)(1) of the Vehicles Act, the regulation would provide more detailed provisions in the Decree for the technical means of demonstrating the stability requirement and manoeuvrability requirement as well as the means of demonstrating the conformity of the safety equipment required by long vehicle combinations.
