In Germany a transport requires a permit as soon as it exceeds the standard dimensions of the StVZO – i.e. more than 2.55 m wide, 4.00 m high, 16.50 m long (articulated truck) or 40 t heavy. In that case a permit under §29 or an exemption under §46 StVO applies (VEMAGS procedure).
- 2.55 mWidth
- 4.00 mHeight
- 16.50 mLength
- 40 tWeight
If any one of these values is exceeded, the transport requires a permit.
| Attribute | Standard limit (StVZO) | Permit required above |
|---|---|---|
| Width | up to 2.55 m (refrigerated vehicles 2.60 m) | above 2.55 m |
| Height | up to 4.00 m | above 4.00 m |
| Length | up to 16.50 m (articulated truck) or 18.75 m (road train) | above that |
| Weight | up to 40 t (44 t in combined transport) | above 40 t or 44 t |
Details on the process, duration and costs are in our guide to heavy haulage permits.
