Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) are large trucks designed to transport heavy loads over long distances. They typically have a gross vehicle weight exceeding 3.5 tons and are essential for the logistics and transportation industry. HGVs come in various types, including articulated lorries, rigid trucks, and vans, each suited for different cargo needs. These vehicles are subject to specific regulations to ensure safety and efficiency on the roads. Drivers of HGVs often require special licenses, such as the Category C or Category C+E licenses, to operate them legally. Proper maintenance and adherence to weight limits are crucial for preventing accidents and ensuring smooth transportation.
