maxspeed:hgv=* is more specific version of maxspeed=* and is using the same syntax, see that page for more info.

"hgv" here means "heavy goods vehicles", what typically is the same as "truck".

Variants

Main article: Forward & backward, left & right

Other max speed tags may be modified similarly leading to maxspeed:hgv:backward=*/maxspeed:hgv:forward=* for max speed applying only in one direction.
