The European Union has officially expanded the weight limit for the standard Category B driving license. Holders can now drive vehicles up to 4,250 kg, an increase from the current 3,500 kg, but only if the vehicles use alternative power sources like electricity, hydrogen, methane, or LPG. The new rules require the license holder to have held their license for at least two years and may involve a mandatory 7-hour training course. However, implementation in Italy and Germany is not expected before 2028 or 2029.
