The EU plans to let category B licence holders drive motorhomes weighing up to 4.25 tonnes. Drivers who passed their test after 1999 currently face a 3.5-tonne limit. The B.96.02 extension is due to take effect in Germany on 26 November 2029. Applicants must have held a category B licence for at least two years and complete training or a test. The caravan industry association CIVD expects high demand for the new category.
