Using a motorhome for work: tachograph and driving time rules explained
The Norwegian Road Authority has clarified that a motorhome used for commercial transport (e.g., towing an employer's trailer with tools) is subject to driving and rest time regulations and must be equipped with a tachograph if the total weight of the vehicle or combination exceeds 3,500 kg. An exemption applies only if all five conditions are met: transporting materials for the driver's own work, driving is not the main activity, distance within 100 km of the company base, total weight up to 7,500 kg, and transport not carried out for another party. From 1 July 2026, the rules will also apply to motorhomes weighing between 2,500 and 3,500 kg for international transport.
