HGV Large Goods Vehicle
Large Goods Vehicle (LGV), or category N2 and N3, is the formal
term in the European Union for goods vehicles (i.e. lorries)
with a maximum allowed mass (MAM) over 3.5 tonnes. Category N2
is up to 12 t, category N3 greater than 12 t.
The former term Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) is still very commonly
used. The term was changed from HGV to LGV as not all countries
in Europe had a word for heavy.[citation needed]
The LGV driver's licence is divided into four categories:
Category C1 (Class 3) allows the holder to drive a vehicle with
a maximum authorised mass (gross vehicle weight) between 3.5
t-7.5 t (3500 kg - 7500 kg) with a trailer up to 750 kg maximum
authorised mass. This licence can be obtained at 18 years of
age.
Category C1+E allows the holder to drive a vehicle with a
maximum authorised mass (gross vehicle weight) between 3.5 t-7.5
t (3500 kg - 7500 kg) with a trailer over 750 kg maximum
authorised mass, provided that the maximum authorised mass of
the trailer does not exceed the unladen mass of the vehicle
being driven and the combined maximum authorised mass of both
the vehicle and trailer does not exceed 12 t (12000 kg).
