The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has issued a notification to amend Rule 93 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules 1989, whereby rigid vehicles and trailers can have a maximum of three decks to transport two-wheelers, with the load body not projecting over the driver’s cabin.
This will enhance the carriage capacity of two-wheelers by 40-50 percent.
The ministry has issued another notification that will facilitate manufacture, type approval testing, and registration of cash vans as special purpose vehicles.
