DDifficulty 2/5

Under Regulation 2018/858 type-approval categories, which characteristics identify an M3 vehicle primarily designed for passengers and their luggage?

Correct answer

More than eight passenger seating positions plus the driver and technically permissible maximum laden mass above 5,000 kg.

More than eight seating positions plus the driver’s seat and a technically permissible maximum laden mass above 5,000 kg. M2 also has more than eight passenger seats but its maximum mass does not exceed 5,000 kg. This mass is the technical type-approval limit, not payload or the actual mass on a journey. It may or may not have standing-passenger space; whether a particular service permits standing passengers is a separate issue.
