Truck Driving Restrictions in Europe

During the Christmas season, road freight across Europe operates under strict regulations. As a logistics company, we proactively prepare shipments for the truck driving restrictions that will apply from December 22 to 28, 2025.

How the restrictions are applied

The bans are date- and time-specific:

• December 22–23: regular national truck restrictions
• December 24: early bans starting in the afternoon
• December 25: full-day Christmas truck ban
• December 26: extended holiday restrictions in many countries
• December 27–28: standard weekend driving bans

Vehicles affected

Restrictions mainly apply to:

• heavy goods vehicles over 7.5 tons;
• international and transit freight;
• commercial road transport.

Limited exemptions may apply depending on cargo type and country.

Our logistics strategy

We ensure:

• compliant route planning;
• adjusted loading schedules;
• alternative transport options;
• continuous shipment control.

Holiday truck bans are manageable when handled with experience and precision.
