Correct answer
Vehicles intended mainly to carry passengers and luggage, with more than eight seating positions in addition to the driver and technically permissible maximum laden mass above 5,000 kg.
Category M3 covers motor vehicles designed and built mainly to carry passengers and their luggage, with more than eight seating positions in addition to the driver and a maximum mass above five tonnes. For this classification, Regulation (EU) 2018/858 defines maximum mass as the technically permissible maximum laden mass, not the maximum mass authorised for road use. M2 also has more than eight seating positions in addition to the driver but does not exceed five tonnes of that mass. M3 vehicles may or may not have space for standing passengers.
