What can I drive with a Class BE license?
With a Class BE license, you may drive a Class B towing vehicle with a trailer or semi-trailer if the trailer’s gross vehicle weight rating is more than 750 kg but no more than 3,500 kg.
This makes the BE driver’s license particularly useful for larger trailers, horse trailers, RVs, or cargo trailers. If you’re not sure whether BE or B96 is right for your vehicle combination, we’ll work with you to figure it out.
Technical Basis: Class BE applies to a Class B towing vehicle with a trailer or semi-trailer with a gross vehicle weight rating of more than 750 kg and up to a maximum of 3,500 kg.
Who should consider BE?
Larger Trailers and Camping
A BE license is especially worthwhile for anyone who wants to travel with a larger trailer. If the combination of car and trailer requires more power or a B96 license is no longer sufficient, a BE license gives you more flexibility on the road and keeps you on the safe side.

Here's How the BE Training Program Works
The BE training program focuses on practical experience with a trailer. You’ll learn how a vehicle combination behaves in traffic, what to watch out for when turning, and how to maintain control while maneuvering or backing up. Our goal is not only for you to successfully complete the training, but also for you to feel confident driving with a trailer in everyday situations.
Safe Maneuvering and Backing Up
We’ll show you how to maneuver the trailer smoothly and stay calm even in tight situations. This will help you get a better feel for the length, lane position, and handling of the vehicle combination.
Practice with a trailer
You’ll practice realistic trailer scenarios in traffic and learn how to turn, accelerate, and brake with confidence, as well as how to drive the combination safely.
Safety in Everyday Life and Preparation

BE or B96—which one do you need?
Whether BE or B96 is right for you depends on the gross vehicle weight rating of your towing vehicle and trailer. B96 is sufficient for certain vehicle combinations weighing over 3,500 kg up to a maximum of 4,250 kg. BE is the right choice if you want to tow larger trailers—such as horse trailers, larger travel trailers, or cargo trailers.
If you’re unsure, just check your specific trailer combination with us. We’ll let you know which extension makes sense for you.
B96 is not a separate driver’s license class, but rather a code associated with Class B. It applies to vehicle combinations weighing between 3,500 kg and a maximum of 4,250 kg; registration requires driver training, not a test.
