New EU rules: B driving license may allow heavier motorhomes

The EU has adopted a new directive that, from November 26, 2027, will allow drivers with a B license (held for at least two years) to operate vehicles up to 4,250 kg if they run on alternative fuels (electricity, biogas). This includes heavier motorhomes. Member states may decide whether additional training or a driving test is required. Sweden has not yet finalized implementation.

25-ton motorhome legal on B license: 'Tricky in the EU'

In Sweden, motorhomes weighing over 20 tons can be driven on a standard B license if obtained before July 1, 1996 (grandfather rights). However, when traveling outside Sweden, especially in EU countries, drivers risk being stopped by police who may not be aware of this exemption. Traffic safety expert Jeanette Jedbäck Hindenburg warns that proving your right on the spot can be difficult. The Swedish Transport Agency advises checking local regulations in advance.
