Argentina Authorizes Nationwide Circulation of Bitrenes

The policy is framed as a cost-cutting move that replaces blanket permits with a few safety-based exceptions.

Overview

  • The government published Resolution 1196/2025 in the Boletín Oficial, granting bitrenes free circulation across the national road network without time restrictions.
  • Prior authorization now applies only to road segments with objective safety risks, including 55 sharp curves in Salta, Jujuy and Tucumán and one in Chubut, while standard bridge weight limits remain in force.
  • Administrative treatment is unified across categories and the special permit for category 3 units up to 30.25 meters and 75 tonnes is eliminated after delays that exceeded 90 days.
  • The measure aligns national rules with those of the City of Buenos Aires to avoid conflicting hours and zones, replacing a patchwork that had limited access to 26.5% of national routes and about 11% in Buenos Aires province.
  • Officials cite payload gains of up to 75% versus conventional trucks, with expected reductions in logistics costs and emissions.
