In Spain, Double trailer truck combinations with a length of 32 meters and up to 72 tons is legalized. The Directorate General of Traffic (DGT) has included a DuoTrailer with a length of up to 32 meters and a permissible weight of 72 tons into the EMS system (groups of vehicles). This follows from a message published by the press service of the National Federation of Transport Associations of Spain (Fenadismer). The so-called DuoTrailer consists of cargo vehicles with a maximum length of 32 meters and a maximum weight of 72 tons, which are exclusively authorized in the Nordic countries according to their specific transport needs. However, since 2018, the General Directorate of Traffic has, on an experimental basis, allowed the movement of more than one hundred DuoTrailers, mainly to logistics operators and large fleet operators, destining them primarily for the transport of goods for the automotive sector. The DuoTrailer competes with another category of supertrucks already existing in Spain, the so-called megatruck, which was legalized at the end of 2015 after changes to the General Vehicle Regulations. A megatruck is a collection of vehicles with more than 6 axles, a maximum length of 25.25 meters and a maximum weight of 60 tons, the movement of which in Spain for commercial purposes requires a permit issued by the Traffic Authority, which sets the route. Moreover, unlike the DuoTrailer, the 60-tonne megatruck is being considered in the new Weights and Dimensions Directive proposal to allow cross-border movement once the document is approved. “Although the DuoTrailer provision was included in the proposed modification of the General Vehicle Regulations considered in the previous legislature, the delay in the elections prevented its approval, which prompted the DGT to authorize their distribution on Spanish roads in a commercial manner through a simple Instructions, without waiting for changes in regulations, which were negotiated with the sector. The DGT justified the approval of its distribution by the fact that after five years of testing, sufficient knowledge and experience has already been accumulated and, therefore, it can be stated that the transport sector is already prepared for their regular use in public freight transport."

The driver shortage situation is projected to worsen in the coming years, with the EU, Norway, and the UK collectively facing a deficit of over 𝟐𝟑𝟑,𝟎𝟎𝟎 truck drivers. If no significant action is taken, this figure is expected to surpass 𝟕𝟒𝟓,𝟎𝟎𝟎 by 2028, largely due to retiring drivers and an aging workforce. In a recent study conducted by the IRU (International Road Transport Union), it has been revealed that more than half of European trucking companies are facing significant hurdles in expanding their operations due to a severe shortage of skilled drivers. The study, which surveyed over 1,000 European road goods transport operators, indicates that the shortage is impacting various aspects of the industry. Among the key findings, it was noted that over 𝟓𝟎% of operators are unable to grow their businesses due to the scarcity of drivers. Furthermore, nearly half of the companies surveyed reported reduced productivity, while 𝟑𝟗% experienced a decline in revenue as a direct consequence of the shortage. Raluca Marian, IRU Director of EU Advocacy, emphasized the need for concerted action from both the EU and national governments to address the root causes of the shortage. Suggestions include closing the 'school-to-wheel gap' by allowing younger individuals to gain driving experience under supervision, harmonizing recognition of driving licenses and qualifications at the EU level and improving drivers' resting conditions by enhancing parking infrastructure. WSD- Capacity is making collaborative efforts to mitigate the impact of the driver shortage on road freight companies and EU trade, while also ensuring a sustainable future for the European transport industry.
