* this is the maximum authorised weight for a tractor + semi-trailer combination; however, the individual elements must not exceed the maximum authorised weight for a single motor vehicle or semi-trailer. The maximum permitted weight for a semi-trailer depends on its configuration
(number of axles and distance between the axles) and is based on the weight per tandem or tridem axle.

Transportation of large and oversized loads

If a vehicle or a truck/trailer unit exceeds the maximum limits specified in a special regulation a transportation permit is required, which is subject to a fee based on the Act on Administrative Fees and the fee must be paid prior to the issuance of the permit. The request for permit must be submitted via the public portal IS NADR.

- EU carriers without temporary residence or a bank account in the Czech Republic can sign up IS NADR via International ID Gateway (IIG).

- For nonEU carriers without temporary residence or a bank account in the Czech Republic it is not possible to sign up IS NADR and the request for permit must be applied through an entity in the Czech Republic.
