We are pleased to provide an update on the licensing regulations for 4.25T electric trucks such as 4S/4C eCanter.
The Department for Transport (DfT) confirmed that the license flexibility for zero-emission vehicles will remain in place, as the government continues to support the adoption of electric trucks.
The 4.25t GVW derogation applies to vehicles with Electric, Natural Gas, LPG Biogas and Hydrogen drive trains. The law now allows drivers who hold a Category B (passenger car) driving licence to drive AFVs up to 4.25t as long as they:
• Are transporting goods
• Have completed at least 5 hours of training *
• Are not towing a trailer
• Are not driving outside of Great Britain (excluding Northern Ireland).
*provided by a company on the National Register of LGV Instructors, or the National Vocational Driving Instructors Register.
