The list of cargoes permitted for transport without being split into parts has been adjusted and expanded. The category of non-divisible cargo now includes: road construction equipment, forestry equipment and machinery, tanks (as a type of industrial installation), water and air vessels of any type, as well as cargoes packed or combined into a single cargo unit that is indivisible by weight.

Certain restrictions have been lifted: it is no longer required that tanker trucks necessarily contain liquid substances, and that perishable goods bear special marking and corresponding entries in the accompanying commercial documentation. At the same time, the definition of perishable goods has been expanded to include cargoes that require a special sanitary regime during transport.

It is no longer necessary to support the transport of cargo in smaller batches with an economic justification proving its impracticality. However, it remains required to confirm that dividing the cargo into smaller batches is impossible or impractical – for example, due to the risk of damaging the cargo or losing its consumer properties.

Electronic interaction and route calculation format

It is now possible to submit a preliminary application in electronic format using the software and technical tools of the PS "SUVSR" enterprise. These tools can be used to determine a preliminary route and calculate the toll fee. Route calculation can be performed in automatic mode. In addition, conclusions from owners of transport communications, communication facilities, and power grids can now be provided in electronic form. This will reduce the time required to prepare an administrative decision once the applicant has submitted a complete set of documents.

Requirements for the escort vehicle and responsibilities of transport participants

The requirements for the escort vehicle involved in accompanying transport are clearly defined. The owner of such a vehicle can be a business entity. The mass of the vehicle must not exceed 3.5 tons (according to the registration documents). The vehicle must be properly equipped – this must be evidenced by the corresponding marks from the traffic police or road police in the registration documents. The equipment includes an orange flashing beacon, communication devices, and high-visibility vests – in a quantity corresponding to the number of crew members.
