What is the primary objective of the new law?Īt a press briefing on September 13, Suhail bin Mohammed Al Mazrouei, Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, underscored the law is aimed at improving the infrastructure, transport and logistics sectors in the UAE. The four-month grace period from October 2023 to February 2024 will be used to raise awareness of the law among transport companies. However, heavy vehicle owners and companies will have a four-month grace period to adapt to the new law before administrative penalties will be enforced beginning February 1, 2024. The new federal law, announced on September 4, will take effect starting October 1 this year. The amendment – setting the permissible maximum weight of heavy vehicles at 65 tonnes – was recently approved by the UAE Cabinet, led by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. The ministry noted 28 per cent of current truckloads across the country exceed 65 tonnes. Exempted are heavy vehicles owned by security, military, police and civil defence authorities. As per the estimate by Minister of Energy and Infrastructure (MoEI), 200,00 heavy vehicles, including border-crossing trucks are covered by the new federal law.
