Question 10006 — road transport

Summary

Mr. Sébastien Leclerc draws the attention of the Minister, to the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, responsible for transport, to the limitation of 3,500 kg total loaded weight of utility vehicles, in particular trucks transporting horses. He points out that, for the sake of safety, manufacturers are increasingly tending to reinforce the solidity of chassis, which increases their weight and therefore consequently reduces the authorized weight of what is to be transported. He notes that the holder of a B license is authorized to drive a vehicle with a total weight of up to 3,500 kg and that he can also tow a small trailer, up to 750 kg, i.e. a total hitch of 4,250 kg. He asks him to please appreciate this development in the situation, which leads a majority of users of these utility vehicles to be very quickly overloaded compared to current regulations and suggests, for example, increasing the total loaded weight of a utility vehicle to 4,250 kg, on the condition that it does not tow a trailer.
