In 2018, UK law was changed so that the weight limit for Category B driving licence holders driving alternatively fuelled vehicles could be increased from 3.5 tonnes to 4.25 tonnes.

The Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) (Amendment) Regulations 2018 (the 2018 Regulations) made changes to the law to allow Category B licence holders to drive an alternatively fuelled vehicle that weighs between 3.5 and 4.25 tonnes, provided it is not driven outside of Great Britain used for the transportation of goods, is not towing a trailer and the driver has completed a minimum of 5 hours training.

Our AFV training course is conducted by a DVSA-endorsed NRI instructor and follows the syllabus published by the Department for Transport (DfT) and Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV).

Each delegate will receive certification of completion from the National Register of Instructors (NRI).
