(12) The artificial barriers to the cross- border transport of heavier lorries primarily used in long distance transport (such as vehicle combinations with 5 and 6 axles), should be removed in a harmonised way to take advantage in the short term of the operational, energy and environmental efficiency linked to the greater loading capacity granted by the Member States, including for intermodal transport. To effectively drive the transition towards zero-emission mobility, it is necessary to phase out the use of such heavier lorries running on fossil fuels, as of 2035, whenfurther encourage the market penetration of more efficient zero- emission HDVs is projected to increase significantly up to around 50% of new HDV registrations. After the phasing out, heavier lorries should continue to be allowed in national traffic while, in international traffic, they should comply with the maximum authorised weights set up in Annex I to Directive 96/53/EC, which limits th. Non-zero-emission vehicle combinations with 5 and 6 axles should continue to be allowed in international traffic, with the same extra weight allowance toas zero-emission vehicles and to vehicles involved in an intermodal transport opers long as the targets set in Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 allow the first registration of such vehicles or combinations.

(14) Vehicle carriers withtransporters, most of which have open bodies, have very limited potential to reduce their energy consumption via improved aerodynamics. DivergingMany different national rules on the use of overhanging of loads on vehicle carritransporters cause distortions of competition and limit significantly their potential to improve operational efficiency and energy performance in international traffic. Therefore, it is necessary to harmonise rules on the use of overhanging of loads of vehicle carriers with open bodietransporters, so as to ensure that these objectives are properly met.

Whenever a Member State allows, pursuant to this paragraph, the circulation of European Modular Systems in national traffic, it may not reject or prohibit the circulation in its territory of European Modular Systems in international traffic, provided that such systems do not exceed the maximum weights and dimensions set for European Modular Systems in national traffic. Member States shall cooperate to mutually recognise each other’s certifications for drivers of European Modular Systems.

The overhang or load support of vehicle transporters may not protrude in relation to the load. The load may protrude in front of the towingload may protrude in front of vehicle transporter, excepting articulated vehicles, up to a maximum of 0,5 meters, provided that the first axles of the transported vehicle rests on the trailerbody structure. TAt the rear the load may protrude from behind up to a maximum of 1,5 meters, provided that the lastforward axle(s) of the transported vehicle(s) rests on the trailer structure. The extendable rear load supports may not protrude further than the overhanging load;
