Supplements & Hints
- In order to drive our buses in Switzerland and Europe, the above mentioned categories are mandatory. In case other categories are valid in your country of origin, they are not valid in Europe. Then you have to request an international driver’s licence at your authorities in order to show proof of the categories B, D1 or D.
- Light trailers: The small trailers up to 750 total weight do not need any entry in the driver’s licence.
