What Type of License is Required for Towing a Trailer?
1 Answers
Trailer towing requires an A2 driver's license. The A2 license permits the operation of tractor vehicles capable of towing heavy and medium-duty full trailers and semi-trailers. Additionally, vehicles that can be driven with an A2 license include: B1 (medium-sized buses), B2 (large trucks), C1 (small cars), C2 (small automatic transmission cars), C3 (low-speed trucks), C4 (three-wheeled vehicles), and M (wheeled self-propelled machinery). According to the regulations on the application and use of motor vehicle driving licenses, in China, a legally valid A2 license allows the driver to operate full trailers and semi-trailers. A full trailer is defined as one where the total weight of the trailer is borne by itself, while a semi-trailer is one where part of the total weight is borne by the tractor vehicle.
