Noun
epatraktor c
- classification issued from 1940 to 1975 for a vehicle that has been reclassified as an agricultural machine, but is mainly used for personal transport
- (nonstandard) Synonym of A-traktor
- 2024 February 28, Oscar Lundberg, “EU-parlamentet vill se höjd åldersgräns för A-traktor [The EU Parliament wants to see an increased age limit for A-tractors.]”, in SVT Nyheter:
- Förslaget innebär att ett B1-körkort, med en åldersgräns på 16 år, ska krävas för att få köra A-traktor, som även kallas EPA-traktor.
- The proposal suggests that a B1 driver's license, with a minimum age of 16, should be required to drive an A-tractor, also known as an EPA tractor.
Usage notes
- In 1975 a new classification standard was introduced, which also introduced the term A-traktor.
- According to some enthusiasts, only a vehicle classified before 1975 can be a "true" epatraktor. But both epatraktor and A-traktor are generally accepted synonyms.
