June 18, 2012
ANITA (National Association Automotive Enterprises Transport) has announced that past friday the EU commission has supplied to the European Parliament clarifications on the vehicles of great dimensions, ecocombi, specifying the possibility for a Member States to allow the transboundary circulation of vehicles whose length exceeds the limits previewed from directive 96/53/CE in the cases of an exceptional transport (authorized person on the base of special permissions); of combinations of modular vehicles (ecocombi); of vehicles in experimental circulation.
"We receive with favor such opening on the transboundary traffic - ANITA president, Eleuterio Arcese has commented - although for our Country it turns out problematic because of the alpine passes. However, draft of an opportunity that we must pick at least on the national traffic as it has happened in Germany, Scandinavian Belgium, Holland and Paesi where experimentations of vehicles of already in existence mega dimensions are".
"To carry the dimension of a vehicle to 25 meters regarding current the 16,50 or 18,75 meters (through the combination of an articulated truck and a towing or of a trailer truck and a semitowing) - it has found Arcese - it would constitute, for example, an advantage for the intermodal transport, as the container transport would afford at the same time and cases you furnish of various dimensions, through I use it of a single engine vehicle, rather than two". "The solution of the ecocombi, used to particular conditions and on drafts predetermined - it has concluded - would optimize the transport ability and it would not involve additional costs for the substitution of the parks".
