Axle Limit Reduction Representation
LETTER OF INTENT –
REDUCTION OF THE AXLE LIMIT FROM 9000 KILOGRAMMES TO 8000
KILOGRAMMES ON ALL SECONDARY ROADS
The Institute of Road Transport Engineers would like to highlight the technical difficulty of existing goods carrying vehicles adapting to a reduced axle mass, and how these difficulties would result in the need for up to 25% more vehicles on the road - not the simplistic 12.5%, that a 9 ton to 8 ton axle mass reduction would suggests at face value.
23rd November 2009
On behalf of The Institute of Road Transport Engineers.
Jannie Geldenhuys - Chairman of Technical Committee
