Heavy transport: what are the specificities?
A heavy transport is a transport or routing operation carried out by a heavy vehicle, i.e. a vehicle whose total weight, including the load, exceeds 3,500 kg. Heavy goods vehicles may also be called “heavy goods vehicles”.
In road freight transport, many vehicles can be considered as heavy goods vehicles. These include refrigerated trucks, trucks for the transport of dangerous goods and tipper trucks.
Because of the danger they can represent due to their high mass and large load, heavy vehicles are subject to strict regulations in Switzerland. As a matter of principle, these road vehicles are not allowed to drive at night between 10 pm and 5 am unless they have a special permit, issued by the canton in which the vehicle is registered, for urgent transport operations. HGVs that transport people and goods are also subject to the Heavy Vehicle Fee (HVF), which is levied on the basis of the total weight of the vehicle, its emission category and the kilometers driven.
HGVs have a separate speed limit of 50 km/h in built-up areas and 80 km/h on all roads and freeways. Their headlights are compulsory 24 hours a day and the driver must be in possession of a professional certificate of competence such as the C1 license.
