- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what information her Department holds on the number of volumetric concrete mixers (a) currently operational and (b) that will be unusable when the weight limit is changed in 2028.
- Answer
-
In the concrete delivery sector, the Department for Transport (DfT) estimates there are in the region of 1,000 VCMs in operation alongside approximately 20,000 barrel mixer vehicles that deliver pre-mixed concrete. Existing vehicles can continue to operate beyond the end of the temporary arrangement provided they are loaded to the lower weight limits (for example, up to 32 tonnes for 4 or more axle rigid vehicles).
