That's actually a EU standard. Modern lorries are limited to 90 km/h (55 mph) today, to comply with EU standards. In most European countries, lorries are limited to 80 km/h on motorways, with a few (including the UK) going fully to the limiter. Technically, the speed limit for lorries is 96 km/h on UK motorways, but newer lorries won't be able to drive that fast because of their limiter.
