EAEU: common mass, axle-load and dimension norms on Eurasian corridors — EEC Decision No. 139

Member states of the Eurasian Economic Union have completed alignment of requirements for permissible mass, axle loads and dimensions of goods vehicles, TKS.RU reported on 10 November 2026.

EEC Board Decision No. 139 of 2 November 2026 declares removed the barrier caused by differences in these parameters across EAEU states. The issue had been on the union's internal-market obstacles register since 3 March 2017. The decision was published on 6 November and takes effect on 6 December 2026, after which the barrier will be struck from the register.

The basis is the Agreement on permissible masses, axle loads and dimensions of vehicles, signed on 13 December 2024 and in force since 17 May 2026. It sets common minimum permissible values for gross mass, single-axle and axle-group loads, length, width and height on roads included in the Eurasian transport corridors. National requirements continue to apply on other roads. Weight-and-dimension enforcement and special permits for heavy and oversized loads remain in place. Bringing road infrastructure to the agreed parameters is scheduled by 1 January 2030.

For oversized moves this gives a common regulatory baseline when planning international road legs: route, axle loads and permits in every transit country. Gateway Logistics operates 45 t / 5-axle and 90 t / 10-axle lowbeds and 145 m³ road-trains on the China — Kazakhstan — Caspian — Caucasus — Türkiye corridors.
