I’m sure this is a stupid post and one answer is to use the search function.However, i’m driving my car around Provence at the moment on holiday. Pretty nearly all the lorries i see in France are 2x4 tractors and not the 2x6 tractors with a lift axle that i’ve driven in the uk.
Here i show my ignorance. Are the weight limits different in france that everyone drives lighter tractor units??

38 t for 4 axled drawbars/artics
44 t for 5 axled drawbars/artics, This was increased from 40 t in 2012For national work.
The European limit for International work is 40t on 5 axles.
Show me the link to that Simon so that I can show it to my bosses before I cross the channel to the UK, fully loaded, with 44t

That’s all I can find quickly.

It might be 40 tons in the books, but in real life its 40t, 44t, 50t and up to 60 tons when traversing Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark without any hassle from the authorities.
This is true
