The new trade deal between the European Union and the U.S. means that pedestrians from Lisbon to Helsinki will be endangered by big, American-made trucks.
The B license is only about gross weight. The limit is 3.5t, it doesn’t matter what the vehicle is registered as. If it’s too heavy, it’s too heavy. If a too heavy vehicle has a light enough empty weight, it might be possible to downrate its gross weight. Of course that means you’ll have much less load capacity then, and getting caught overloaded is no joke.
maybe it’s a regional thing, i know the eu license system is a mess. here it also limits the amount of passengers, and vehicles can be re-registered for use with a b license if they meet certain criteria like number of seats.

The limit to the number of passengers to 8 applies to all licenses other than class D1 and D.
