Notwithstanding the limitation in section 127(d) of title 23, United States Code, if a State had in effect on or before June 1, 1991, a statute or regulation which placed a limitation on the overall length of a longer combination vehicle consisting of 3 trailers, such State may allow the operation of a longer combination vehicle to accommodate a longer energy efficient truck tractor in such longer combination vehicle under such limitation, if the additional tractor length is the only added length to such longer combination vehicle and does not result in increased cargo capacity in weight or volume.
Nothing in this section authorizes a State to allow an increase in the length of a trailer, semitrailer, or other cargo-carrying unit of a longer combination vehicle. The term longer combination vehicle has the meaning given such term in section 127 of title 23, United States Code.
