| | see expl. | Explanation:
"Ensembles de vehcules de la categorie B dont le PTAC > 3,5 t ou le PTAC remorque > poids a vide du vehicule tracteur."
"All Category B vehicules where the Total Permitted Weight is greater than 3.5 T., or the where the Total Permitted Weight of the trailer is greater than the Unladen Weight of the tractor unit."
see below -
"Le permis E s'adresse aux personnes n'ayant que le permis B (permis voiture) et désireuses de tracter une remorque ou une caravane dont le poids (PTAC) serait supérieur au poids à vide de la voiture. Ou dont l'ensemble voiture (PTAC) + remorque (PTAC) serait supérieur à 3,5 tonnes.
A noter : la voiture peut-être plus légère que la remorque si cette dernière ne dépasse pas 750 kg en PTAC.
PTAC = Poids Total Autorisé en Charge
PV = Poids à Vide
PTRA = Poids Total Roulant Autorisé (exemple : PTAC voiture + PTAC

That should read - \"All Category B vehicules where the Total Permitted Weight is greater than 3.5 T., or where the Total Permitted Weight of the trailer is greater than the Unladen Weight of the tractor unit.\"

| Grading comment Thank you for this thorough answer. My only caveat is that in the US, the term Total Permitted Weight does not seem to be used, judging by a Google search and my own experience.
