> The idea is that HCT will contribute to [...] reduced road wear [...]. One example is Finland, where it is permitted to drive with 76 tonnes of total weight and 34,5m truck combinations on most roads. Another is Sweden, where it is allowed to drive 74 tonnes... Apparently it can actually reduce road wear, likely due to using fewer trucks (and therefore fewer axles), despite the absolutely massive size of the semi featured in TFA. Considering how close the truck matches the length and weight limits of the road networks listed, I strongly suspect it was explicitely designed around said limits. Possibly coupled with a margin for safety and human inaccuracy at the weigh scale, or simply lowest common denominator for limits in a market not listed.
