End of tolerance policy<\/h2>\n

Although large electric commercial vehicles do not fall under the category of “trucks,” they often weigh as much as a small truck due to a large battery pack. Yet until now, a B license was sufficient to drive such a heavy electric van, as long as the weight did not exceed 4,250 kilograms. But that will come to an end. Starting in July, vehicles weighing more than 3,500 pounds – which applies to most large electric buses – will require a truck license to drive them. <\/p>\n

Entrepreneurs not happy<\/h2>\n

Many business owners will therefore have to look for truck drivers or switch to diesel buses, which are a lot lighter. Dutch entrepreneurs are unhappy with Harbers’ decision. “The measure, which takes effect July 1, 2024, will have the effect of delaying sustainability. I will not be surprised if companies are forced to drive diesel vans again as a result,” said Raymond de Jong, spokesman for parties such as Transport & Logistiek Nederland (TLN), RAI Vereniging, evofenedex, Koninklijke Bouwend Nederland, VNO-NCW, MKB-Nederland and Techniek Nederland.<\/p>\n

Too short<\/h2>\n

The prosecution wants the measure to take effect July 1, 2024, but De Jong says that is too soon. “Many drivers of electric vans do not have a ‘big driver’s license,’ and that means – in these days of major driver shortages, companies can no longer continue to drive ‘sustainably.'”<\/p>\n
