100% LPG – No tachograph required

For those commercial towers out there it is worth knowing that if your vehicle runs only on LPG (no petrol tank or ability to run on petrol just LPG), and you tow commercially and have a combined Gross Weight of 3500 kg or more – you can be exempt from a tachograph. So not only can you save vast sums of money through the use of bulk LPG, but can have more flexibility in operating times – without the hassle, cost and restrictions of having to fit and maintain a tachograph.

Yes. I noticed that, steam powered vehicles are also exempt, so you could put all your prunings to good use instead of chipping them.

 

I suppose the LPG exemption is on account of the scarcity of LPG filling stations. Finding one is going to put you well over your hours.

on what possible grounds does this exemption make sense. just goes to show what a nonsense the regs are.
