Turning assistant to become compulsory for long trucks
The turning assistant is to become compulsory in Germany for new long trucks as from 1.7.2020 and for all other trucks as from 1.7.2022. According to the German federal ministry of transport (BMVI), more routes are to be added to the authorised network.
This means that long trucks can use more routes in Germany as from 2.10.2019. For the first time, Baden-Württemberg and Bremen are opening up their entire road network to longer semitrailers (long trucks type 1). Long trucks consist of a tractor vehicle and a trailer.
Since 1 January 2017, long trucks may be deployed in permanent operation on the routes of the existing authorised network. (ben)
