What Type of Driver's License is Required for a Semi-Trailer?
1 Answers
Semi-trailers require an A2 license, which corresponds to the towing vehicle category. Below are details about the driver's license: 1. A2 Driver's License: The A2 license permits driving towing vehicles. Holders of a valid A2 license issued by China's public traffic police vehicle management authorities can drive heavy and medium-duty full trailers and semi-trailer combinations. Additionally, they are allowed to operate vehicles permitted under B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, and M licenses. 2. A2 Permitted Vehicle Types: The A2 license authorizes driving towing vehicles, which can pull heavy and medium-duty full trailers or semi-trailers. Trailers are categorized into two types: full trailers and semi-trailers. A full trailer bears its total weight independently, while a semi-trailer shares part of its total weight with the towing vehicle. Only drivers holding an A2 license can operate these towing vehicles; even those with an A1 license are not permitted to drive towing vehicles.
