What is the maximum permissible length of a combination of a truck and one trailer if a load does not project backward?

In Germany, the maximum permissible length for a combination of a truck and one trailer is typically 18.75 meters if the load does not project backward. This regulation is outlined in the Road Traffic Act (Straßenverkehrsordnung - StVO) and ensures safe and efficient transportation.

It’s important to adhere to this limit as exceeding it can lead to increased risks on the road, such as reduced maneuverability and difficulties in navigation through urban areas. Accepting loads within these limits contributes to overall road safety and compliance with traffic regulations.
