Information about Heavy 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. The LGV driver's licence is divided into three categories. Category C1 (Class 3) allows holders to drive rigid vehicles up to 7.5 t and C (Class 2) allows for the driving of lorries over the 7.5 t limit. Category C+E (Class 1) allows the holder to drive articulated lorries and lorries towing a trailer over 750 kg. Drivers passing their Category B (Car) test before 1 January 1997 are entitled to drive category C1 vehicles.
In Canada's Ontario province, drivers holding a Class A licence can drive tractor-trailers where the gross weight of the towed vehicle exceeds 4.6 t.[1] Drivers holding a Class B (school bus), C (regular bus) or D (heavy truck) licence can drive trucks weighing 11 t, with the towed vehicle weighing a maximum of 4.6 t (Ibid.).
