The European Parliament is invited to vote on Tuesday on a draft revision of the “Weight and dimensions” directive for trucks. This text allows, among other things, to increase the maximum weight of trucks circulating between the countries of the European Union to more than 44 tonnes.
The authorization of these “gigaliners” is sparking lively debate. “They are an ecological aberration,” says MEP Pascal Canfin, who specifies that the French delegation of Renew will vote no.
