57. Additional Questions for Categories BE, C1E, CE, D1E, DE (Structure and Terms)
57.1. Which types of vehicles can be classified under category BE?
UAЯкі види транспортних засобів можна віднести до категорії ВЕ?
Clause 2.13 (categories of vehicles)
"Vehicles belong to the following categories: BE, C1E, CE, D1E, DE — combinations of vehicles with a tractor unit of category B, C1, C, D1 or D and a trailer with a total mass exceeding 750 kg."
This clause of the Traffic Rules directly specifies that category BE is precisely a combination of vehicles (road train), where the tractor unit belongs to category B and the trailer has a total mass of more than 750 kg.
Therefore, the correct answer is "A combination of vehicles with a tractor unit of category B and a trailer with a total mass exceeding 750 kilograms," taking into account that according to the definition in the Traffic Rules, category BE is a road train with a tractor unit of category B and a trailer with a total mass of more than 750 kg.
Category BE does not refer to a single vehicle, but specifically to a road train, that is, a combination of a tractor unit and a trailer. To answer correctly, you need to pay attention to the fact that in point 2.13 of the Traffic Rules of Ukraine, categories with the letter E describe cases when a trailer of greater mass is added to a vehicle of the corresponding base category.
For BE, the base vehicle is a tractor unit of category B. This can be a passenger car or a light commercial vehicle that belongs to category B. But the key feature of BE is the trailer: its total mass must exceed 750 kg. If the trailer has a total mass less than or equal to 750 kg, then such a combination does not fall under the BE category requirement according to point 2.13.
In practice, it looks like this: a category B passenger car tows a heavy trailer, for example, a trailer for transporting a boat, a car, or a camper trailer, and the total mass of the trailer is over 750 kg. It is precisely exceeding this limit that is the decisive criterion that moves the combination into category BE.
Therefore, the correct answer is "Combinations of vehicles with a category B tractor unit and a trailer whose total mass exceeds 750 kilograms," since according to point 2.13 of the Traffic Rules, category BE is defined as a combination of a category B tractor unit with a trailer whose total mass is greater than 750 kg.
