Which motorhome can you drive with a B licence
© © RIPRODUZIONE RISERVATA

In Italy, a B licence allows driving motorhomes with a maximum authorised mass of up to 3,500 kg. However, the actual weight when loaded with passengers, water and luggage must be considered. Additional restrictions apply to new drivers, and from 2029 new EU rules will allow driving motorhomes up to 4,250 kg after specific training.

With a B license you can also drive larger campers: EU revolution

New EU regulations extend the standard B driving license to allow driving heavier vehicles under specific conditions. From November, license holders with at least two years of experience can drive vehicles up to 4,250 kg unladen weight, but only if they are alternatively powered (electric, hydrogen, methane, or LPG). This change, which may require up to 7 hours of training, eliminates the need for a C, C1, or BE license for many larger campers and commercial vehicles.

Historic Turn for Category B License: Now Allowing Camper Vans and Electric Vehicles up to 4,250 kg

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.

EU Driving License Reform: Heavier Motorhomes and Vans Allowed Under Category B

The European Commission proposes raising the maximum permissible mass for category B license holders from 3.5 to 4.25 tonnes. The change aims to accommodate heavier electric vehicles, whose batteries add significant weight. Drivers will need at least two years of experience, and motorhome operation may require additional training. The reform is expected to take effect by the end of the decade.
