Explanation:
"Ensembles de vehcules de la categorie B dont le PTAC > 3,5 t ou le PTAC remorque > poids a vide du vehicule tracteur."

"All Category B vehicules where the Total Permitted Weight is greater than 3.5 T., or the where the Total Permitted Weight of the trailer is greater than the Unladen Weight of the tractor unit."

see below -

"Le permis E s'adresse aux personnes n'ayant que le permis B (permis voiture) et désireuses de tracter une remorque ou une caravane dont le poids (PTAC) serait supérieur au poids à vide de la voiture. Ou dont l'ensemble voiture (PTAC) + remorque (PTAC) serait supérieur à 3,5 tonnes.

A noter : la voiture peut-être plus légère que la remorque si cette dernière ne dépasse pas 750 kg en PTAC.

PTAC = Poids Total Autorisé en Charge
PV = Poids à Vide

PTRA = Poids Total Roulant Autorisé (exemple : PTAC voiture + PTAC

That should read - \"All Category B vehicules where the Total Permitted Weight is greater than 3.5 T., or where the Total Permitted Weight of the trailer is greater than the Unladen Weight of the tractor unit.\"

Thank you for this thorough answer. My only caveat is that in the US, the term Total Permitted Weight does not seem to be used, judging by a Google search and my own experience.

Let me do your work for you:
\"All category B vehicles whose GVW is greater than 3.5 T, or the trailer GVW is greater than the tractor unit AVGW.\"
If you don\'t want the symbols that is!

I should have made it clear that the > signs as used on the French license mean "greater than." Thanks on PTAC but if you can try again better undertanding the question, I'd appreciate it. Her'es the full sentence: "Ensembles de vehcules de la categorie B dont le PTAC > 3,5 t ou le PTAC remorque > poids a vide du vehicule tracteur."

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  mckinnc: Sounds pretty convincing. Should that not be "trailer" though?
