Article 8 – paragraph 1
With the aim of improving road safety and the aerodynamic performance of vehicles or combinations of vehicles, vehicles or combinations of vehicles equipped with devices that meet the criteria set out below may exceed the maximum lengths provided for in point 1.1 of Annex I. The only purpose of these exceedances is to allow the addition to the rear of vehicles or vehicle combinations of devices increasing their aerodynamic characteristics.

Article 8 – paragraph 4
The Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 16, to complement the requirements referred to in paragraph 2. These shall take the form of technical characteristics, minimum levels of performance, design constraints, and procedures for the establishment of the test certificate referred to in paragraph 3. In the case of the devices to mark the minimum clearance outline and perimeter contemplated in paragraph 2, the Commission shall draft harmonised common rules on perception, type and luminosity for the identification of these additional devices.

Article 8 – paragraph 5
Pending the adoption of the delegated acts, the vehicles or combinations of vehicles equipped with aerodynamic devices to the rear, which meet the requirements referred to in paragraph 2 and were tested in accordance with paragraph 3 may circulate if their length exceeds the length laid down in Annex I, point 1.1 by no more than two metres. This transitional measure shall apply from the date of entry into force of this Directive. Specialised vehicles, such as vehicle transporters, which by their inherent design cannot benefit from an aerodynamic devices to the front nor rear, may use these additional two metres to optimise their efficiency by other means such as optimal loading with the use of front- and rear-overhangs. The tractor cab shall in any case comply with the requirements set up in article 9.

Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 7
The requirements set out in paragraph 2 are adopted in accordance with paragraph 5 below. The Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts concerning the requirements which the new tractor cabs must meet in accordance with Article 16. These take the form of technical characteristics, minimum levels of performance, design constraints, and procedures for the establishment of the test certificate indicating the increase in aerodynamic performance referred to in paragraph 3. Before adopting a delegated act, the Commission shall consult the interested parties (builders, drivers, road safety associations, traffic authorities, training centres, etc) and shall publish a report on the results of the consultation.

Article 11 – paragraph 1 – second part
For the purposes of this Article, and of point 2.2.2(c) of Annex I, an intermodal transport operation shall include at least rail, river or sea transport at least. It shall also include a road section for its initial and/or terminal journey. EachFor such operations, the total of these road sections shall be lessno more than 300 km in the territory of the European Union% of the total overall distance or just as far as the closest terminals between which there is a regular service. A transport operation shall also be regarded as intermodal transport if it uses intra- European short sea shipping, regardless of the lengths of the initial and terminal road journeysand the maritime section accounts at least 20% of the total overall distance. The initial road journey and the terminal road journey for an operation using intra-European short sea shipping takes place from the point where the goods are loaded to the nearest appropriate seaport for the initial leg, and/or where appropriate between the nearest appropriate seaport and the point where the goods are unloaded for the final leg.
