Within the European Union (EC), the Council Directive 96/53/EC gives information about the
permissible dimensions and weights for certain road vehicles in international traffic. Vehicle
combinations (trucks with ordinary trailers or semi-trailers) which comply with the criteria specified
here may travel on roads within the EU without a special permit. The size and weight limits set by
the Council Directive are summarised in the tables.
