You want to transport goods on a commercial basis or for payment. For which vehicles or vehicle combinations does the holiday travel regulation apply?

You answered correctly. The holiday travel regulation in Germany applies to vehicles or vehicle combinations that have a maximum permissible mass of over 7.5 tons and to vehicles with a trailer. This regulation restricts certain heavy vehicles and combinations from driving on Sundays and public holidays to reduce traffic and improve safety for general traffic on those days. Lighter vehicles with a mass up to 7.5 tons are not affected by this rule. So, for future questions, remember: the regulation is mainly for heavy vehicles (over 7.5 tons) and those with trailers when transporting goods commercially or for payment.
