Show answer

Correct answer

  • ASí.Yes.
Explanation

With a class B licence we can drive a vehicle with a MAM of up to 3,500 kg and also tow a trailer with a MAM of up to 750 kg, so we can drive a combination of vehicles with a MAM of 4,250 kg. In addition, within Spain, holders of a licence more than two years old may drive motor cars without a trailer that run on alternative fuels and carry goods, with a MAM of more than 3,500 kg but not more than 4,250 kg, provided that the mass above 3,500 kg is due solely to the extra mass of the propulsion system and the load capacity is not increased compared with the same vehicle. (Alternative fuels: electricity, hydrogen, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), etc.)
