Question 9318 — road transport

Summary

Ms. Marie-Agnès Poussier-Winsback draws the attention of the Minister to the Minister of Regional Planning and Decentralization, responsible for transport, to the consequences of the ministerial decree of July 29, 2021 modifying the authorized total rolling weight of land motor vehicles. From October 1, 2025, Euro 5 trucks will no longer be authorized to travel at more than 40 tonnes on national territory. Only vehicles equipped with Euro 6 engines, more recent and more environmentally friendly, will be able to continue to drive with an authorized total weight of 44 tonnes. Vehicles meeting the Euro 5 standard, which are still numerous on the roads, will either have to be replaced or face a reduction in their load capacity, which will generate a very significant investment cost for the companies which will be able to cope with it or a increase in the number of trips for the same quantity transported, which would reduce the beneficial ecological effect of the measure. Small companies therefore risk being in difficulty compared to the largest in the sector and certain players risk being very weakened. In this context, she would like to know whether, as October 2025 approaches, State support measures, such as aid for the purchase or conversion of vehicles, are planned to facilitate this transition or if a new implementation period would be possible to support this transition.
