(2)In sub-paragraph (1) “haulage vehicle” means a vehicle (other than a vehicle to which Part IV, [F2IVA,] V or VI applies) which is constructed and used on public roads solely for haulage and not for the purpose of carrying or having superimposed on it any load except such as is necessary for its propulsion or equipment.
