MEPs spoke out on Tuesday in favor of easier movement in the EU of "mega-trucks" measuring up to 25 meters long. These extendable trucks, carrying a container to which is added a trailer, are already authorized in certain countries such as Sweden or Finland and tested in others such as Germany.
The adopted text automatically authorizes between consenting neighboring states, which already accept them on their territory. The European Council (member states) will adopt its position in June, and it will then be up to the next parliamentary assembly, elected after the June 2024 elections.
