The piping arrangement (20) comprises a first rigid conduit (21), which is secured to the chassis and connected to a vent outlet (13) of the cryogenic tank, a second rigid conduit (23), which is provided with an outlet (30) which opens into the surroundings, a flexible conduit (26), which is arranged between the first and second rigid conduits, and a holding member (25). The second rigid conduit is fixed to the holding member and the holding member is intended to be mounted to a cargo body in order to secure the second rigid conduit to the cargo body after a mounting of the cargo body to the chassis (2).
