All C licence questions · DGT question bank

A lorry designed primarily to carry goods has a technically permissible maximum laden mass of 8 tonnes. Under the European mass classification, which N category does it belong to?

Correct answer

N2.

Category N2: goods vehicles with a maximum mass over 3.5 tonnes and no more than 12 tonnes. N1 extends up to 3.5 tonnes and N3 exceeds 12 tonnes. The relevant figure here is the technically permissible maximum laden mass, not the goods carried that day or payload alone. These technical categories must not be confused with colloquial classifications or old administrative transport thresholds.
