The Generalitat of Catalonia will review the requirements for trucks 'megratrucks'

Sept. 12, 2016
The Catalan Government intends to bring its own regional regulation of trucks 25.25 meters long and weighing up to 60 tons closer to that in force in the territory of the DGT. The difference in regulations (to which that of Euskadi could be added) have caused discomfort in the professional transport sector and in trucks in particular, as the website for sparepartsdelcamion.com advanced a few months ago.
The Generalitat of Catalonia will review the requirements for trucks 'megratrucks'

The Directorate of Transport of the Generalitat plans to meet with officials of the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) to "converge" the requirements to grant authorizations for the circulation of megatrucks. "We are aware that this convergence is necessary," sources from the Generalitat have pointed out.

Catalonia is a more restrictive community with megatrucks because it is concerned about "the patrimonial responsibility of the Generalitat in the face of the authorizations it issues and for security", maintain from the regional government. In fact, the Catalan Traffic Management General Directorate considers that the DGT text has "some legal loopholes" such as the use of a three-axle tractor, for example.

Despite sources of the sector have assured that in no case will they allow "an increase in the capacity of current trucks to be covered by megatrucks. The norm will not be flouted". In this line, the Generalitat is already planning to analyze the authorizations "in an individualized way" to avoid fraud and picaresque.
