A. On any highway other than an interstate highway, any motor vehicle that is fueled, wholly or partially, by natural gas shall be allowed up to an additional 2,000 pounds total in gross, single axle, tandem axle, or bridge formula weight limits.
To be eligible for this exception, the operator of the vehicle must be able to demonstrate that the vehicle is a natural gas vehicle, a bi-fuel vehicle using natural gas, or a vehicle that has been converted to a natural gas vehicle.
B. On an interstate highway, any motor vehicle that is fueled primarily by natural gas may exceed the weight limits provided in § 46.2-1127 by an amount equal to the difference between (i) the weight of the vehicle attributable to the natural gas tank and fueling system carried by that vehicle and (ii) the weight of a comparable diesel fuel tank and fueling system. However, the gross weight of such vehicle shall not exceed 82,000 pounds.
