Get in TouchRelevant Legislation
Article 5 of MD 2805/2021 sets out which vehicle may tow which. Passenger cars M1, buses M2 and M3 and light goods vehicles N1 may tow only trailers of subcategories O1 and O2. Lorries N2 and N3 may tow trailers of every subcategory, while tractor units may tow only semi-trailers O2 to O4.
Beyond the category, the masses are checked. The maximum technically permissible towable mass of the towing vehicle, fields O.1 and O.2 of the registration document, must cover the laden mass of the trailer. For an unbraked O1 trailer behind an M1 or N1, half the towing vehicle’s mass in running order must additionally cover the trailer’s laden mass, with an absolute ceiling of 750 kg. For a braked O1 and for O2, the laden mass of the towing vehicle must be at least equal to that of the trailer; for off-road M1G and N1G vehicles that limit is relaxed by a factor of one and a half.
Article 8 restricts the use. Behind a private car, category O1 is allowed without restriction; category O2 only for carrying horses, boats, vehicles of historic interest, racing cars and motorcycles, other equipment for the owner’s amateur or sporting activity, and for driver-training vehicles and caravans. The list is closed: anything not named in it is not permitted.
