2. Vehicle loading gauge This is the minimum loading gauge for main international lines. On new lines, only a small marginal investment cost is normally incurred by adopting a high loading gauge, and the UIC C1 gauge has therefore been chosen. The C1 gauge allows, for instance: The transport of road goods vehicles and road trains (lorry with trailer, articulated vehicle, tractor and semi-trailer) conforming to the European road loading gauge (height 4 m, width 2.5 m) on special wagons with a loading height 60 cm above rail level; The transport of ordinary road semi-trailers 2.5 m wide and 4 m high on recess wagons with normal bogies; The transort of ISO containers 2.44 m wide and 2.9 m high on ordinary flat wagons The transort of swap-bodies 2.5 m wide on ordinary flat wagons. The existing lines across mountainous regions (such as the Pyrenees, Massif Central, Alps, Jura, Appenines, Carpathians) have many tunnels conforming to the Technical Unit loading gauge, or gauges of slightly greater height at the centre of the track. Increasing this to conform to the UIC C1 gauge is in almost all cases impossible from the economic and financial standpoints. The UIC B gauge has therefore been chosen for these lines, as it allows, for instance: The transport of ISO containers 2.44 m wide and 2.90 m high on flat container-wagons with a loading height 1.18 m above rail level.; The transport of swap-bodies 2.5 m wide and 2.6 m high on ordinary flat wagons (loading height 1.246 m); The transport of semi-trailers on recess wagons. Most of the existing main international lines offer at least the UIC B gauge. In the case of the others, improvement to this standard does not normally require major investment.
