Transport & Environment (T&E) strongly criticises the announcement today by the Dutch Minister of Infrastructure and Environment Melanie Schultz Van Hagen to allow trucks up to 25 meters long and 60 tonnes in weight to operate across the Dutch road network (1). Â EU law currently restricts the length of lorries to a maximum of 18.75m and 40-44 tonnes.
