Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Regulation (EU) 2018/858 (Article 4) classifies in category M the motor vehicles intended for the transport of persons that have at least four wheels. Within this large family three subcategories are distinguished: M1 (up to 8 seats in addition to the driver's, such as passenger cars), M2 (more than 8 seats in addition to the driver's and a maximum authorized mass (MAM) of up to 5,000 kg) and M3 (more than 8 seats in addition to the driver's and a MAM above 5,000 kg). Therefore, the correct definition of M3 is the one that combines more than 8 seats in addition to the driver's and more than 5,000 kg. The thresholds of "more than 17 seats and a minimum mass of 3,500 kg" do not correspond to that category, and the definition of any motor vehicle with at least four wheels intended for persons describes category M as a whole, without distinguishing the specificity of M3.
