Cefic shares its position on the revision of the Weight and Dimensions Directive, aiming to facilitate zero-emission transport in both road and combined transport. Cefic believes the revision of the Directive is important to incentivise zero emission transport in both road and combined transport. Consult the paper for the detailed recommendations.
Key takeaways:
- Cefic calls for harmonisation and increased efficiency of heavy duty road freight transport by eliminating the regulatory barriers in cross border transport.
- Enforcement should be simplified by implementing digitalised border crossing procedures.
- A level playing field must be secured by aligning maximum weights and dimensions across the Member States.
