UK government considers temporary weight increase for fuel tankers amid fuel shortage concerns.
The UK government is considering temporary changes to allow fuel tankers to operate at higher weights to address ongoing fuel shortage fears, particularly for supermarket delivery trucks. This move comes after disruptions to fuel supplies in 2021, with plans to seek legal powers for the necessary changes when parliamentary time allows. The exemption would last for four to five weeks at a time and not be made permanent.
