What is the maximum permissible length of the truck and trailer with load?

Your answer is correct. In Germany, the maximum permissible length for a truck together with its trailer(s) and load is 20.75 meters. This limit ensures that vehicles can safely navigate roads, especially curves and junctions, without causing excessive risk to other road users.

The length includes the entire combination—truck, trailer(s), and the load they carry. If a vehicle exceeds this length, it may require special permits or be restricted from certain roads. This rule is important for maintaining road safety and traffic flow, so when driving or planning transport with trucks and trailers, always ensure the total length does not surpass this limit.
