Tuesday 27th May 2025

Asked by: Kanishka Narayan (Labour - Vale of Glamorgan)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to support manufacturers of (a) 44-tonne and (b) all weights of volumetric concrete mixers.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

The Department has supported the transition of volumetric concrete mixer (VCM) operators and manufacturers by providing a 10-year temporary weight exemption, allowing time to adapt to compliant vehicles.

The temporary arrangement will conclude in 2028. Existing VCMs will be able to continue operating, but only within the applicable weight limits.
