Automotive / Cars & Trucks / drivers Licence
Norwegian term or phrase: motorredskap
A type of vehicle that the licence holder is permitted to drive, along with light motorcycles. I can't find a good English term for it though it's obviously a fairly common term in both Norwegian and Swedish.

Advice would be most appreciated!

utility vehicle
Explanation:
The source term is a bit misleading, as the literal meaning is 'power tools'. I daily language, this is a tractor. The vehicle class in driver's licence terms is "T".

Many thanks! This term was curious, as I found several instances of it together with tractor, i.e., "motorredskap og traktor," but was at a loss for how to translate power tools that one could drive. Utility vehicles is good.
