The Swedish Category BE car and heavy-trailer theory test has 60 questions in 40 minutes. Five questions are unscored trial items, requiring 44 of 55 scored points to pass. The standard 2026 theory fee is 420 SEK daytime or 520 SEK after 18:00/weekends. An approved BE theory test is valid for 1 year. Category BE entitles the holder to tow trailers up to 3,500 kg totalvikt behind a 3,500 kg vehicle (max combination 7,000 kg). Independent Category BE practice by OpenExamPrep prepares candidates across all five Trafikverket knowledge areas.

2What is the primary safety function of the safety breakaway cable (säkerhetsvajer / katastrofvajer) on a braked trailer?
3How should the safety breakaway cable (säkerhetsvajer) be attached to the towing car?
4How does the overrun brake (påskjutsbroms) on a Category BE trailer operate during braking?
5What is a clear symptom that the overrun brake damper (påskjutsdämpare) on a trailer is defective or completely worn out?
6What is the function of the reverse release mechanism (backautomatik) on a modern trailer with overrun brakes?
7How is the curb weight (tjänstevikt) of a passenger car defined under Swedish vehicle regulations?
8What does the term totalvikt (gross vehicle weight rating) represent on a trailer's Swedish registration certificate?
9How is maximum payload (maxlast) calculated for any registered trailer?
10A trailer has a totalvikt of 2,400 kg and a tjänstevikt of 600 kg. If it currently carries 1,000 kg of cargo, what is its current bruttovikt?
About the Kunskapsprov BE Exam
Kunskapsprov BE is the Swedish Category BE driving-licence theory test for passenger cars and light trucks towing heavy trailers. Trafikverket administers the computer-based knowledge test and the practical driving test, and Transportstyrelsen sets the licensing rules under Körkortslagen (1998:488). Category BE permits driving a car or light truck (totalvikt up to 3,500 kg) coupled with one or more trailers whose combined totalvikt is up to 3,500 kg, allowing combinations up to 7,000 kg. The test contains 60 questions in 40 minutes, where 55 count toward the score and 5 are unscored trial questions. A passing score of 44 out of 55 is required, and an approved BE theory test is valid for 1 year toward the practical driving test. The official test is taken in Swedish. Independent Category BE practice by OpenExamPrep is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation, not an official translation or simulation, covering Swedish trailer regulations, coupling safety, ball pressure (kultryck), overrun braking (påskjutsbroms), load securing, and motorway towing rules.

We aim to reflect publicly available exam outlines and topic information in our study resources. Coverage, format, and difficulty may differ from the actual exam, and we cannot guarantee that every detail is accurate or current. Confirm exam requirements, fees, and policies with the official exam sponsor.
Vehicle Knowledge and Manoeuvring
Coupling mechanisms, 50 mm ball hitch inspection, safety breakaway cable (säkerhetsvajer), overrun inertia brakes (påskjutsbroms), lighting, triangular rear reflectors, weight definitions (tjänstevikt, totalvikt, maxlast, bruttovikt), towball pressure (kultryck) effects, and load securing (80% forward, 50% sides/rear, tensioning STF and lashing LC)
Environment
Eco-driving with heavy combinations, minimizing aerodynamic drag of box trailers and horseboxes, trailer tyre pressures to lower rolling resistance, and cargo distribution
Traffic Safety
Extended stopping distances with laden trailers, trailer sway (slingring) and recovery via firm straight-line braking, jackknifing (fällknivseffekt), mirror requirements for wide trailers, blind spots, reversing geometry, and winter driving with studded trailer tyres
Traffic Rules
Category BE entitlement scope (car up to 3,500 kg + trailers up to 3,500 kg combined, total combination up to 7,000 kg), speed limits (80 km/h with a braked trailer, 40 or 30 km/h for heavier unbraked trailers, 30 km/h when towing a broken-down vehicle), lane rules on three-lane roads, overhang marking (rear over 1 m; front unless under 1 m and clearly visible), and trailer-specific signs such as C6, C18 and C21
Personal Conditions
Driver fitness, fatigue management during heavy towing, alcohol limit (0.2 per mille / 0.10 mg/l breath), driver pre-trip inspection duties (säkerhetskontroll), and legal liability for vehicle roadworthiness

Frequently Asked Questions
How many questions are on the Swedish Kunskapsprov BE?
Trafikverket states that the Category BE theory test consists of 60 questions. Five of these are unscored trial questions, so your result is calculated out of 55 scored questions.
What is the passing score for Kunskapsprov BE?
You must score at least 44 points out of the 55 scored questions (80%) to pass the Category BE knowledge test.
How long is the Swedish Category BE theory test?
The standard test duration is 40 minutes. Candidates who have pre-approved support arrangements may receive 60 minutes for extended time or 80 minutes when using an authorized interpreter.
How much does the BE theory test cost in 2026?
Trafikverket lists the B and BE knowledge test fee as 420 SEK during daytime hours and 520 SEK after 18:00 or on weekends. Practical driving tests and photo fees are billed separately.
How long is a passed BE theory test valid?
According to Trafikverket, an approved Category BE knowledge test is valid for 1 year (12 months), during which you must pass the practical driving test (körprov).
What vehicle combinations can I drive with a Category BE licence?
A Category BE licence allows you to drive a passenger car or light truck with a maximum totalvikt of 3,500 kg coupled with one or more trailers whose combined totalvikt is at most 3,500 kg. The total combined totalvikt of car and trailer can reach up to 7,000 kg.
What is the maximum speed when towing a trailer in Sweden?
A passenger car towing a braked trailer has a maximum speed limit of 80 km/h, even if the road has a higher posted speed limit. An unbraked trailer may also be driven at 80 km/h provided its totalvikt (or tjänstevikt if unladen) does not exceed half the towing car's tjänstevikt and is at most 750 kg. Otherwise the limit is 40 km/h, or 30 km/h if the trailer's actual weight exceeds the car's.
Are these official Trafikverket questions?
No. These are independent practice questions developed by OpenExamPrep from Swedish statutes (Trafikförordningen, Körkortslagen) and Transportstyrelsen and Trafikverket guidance. The official test is taken in Swedish; this bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation, not an official translation or simulation of the Trafikverket test.
