This with A-tractors and the rules on how to rebuild a regular car is no easy thing. The regulations are really complicated.

Among other things, an A-tractor with the old rules can run a maximum of ten kilometers per hour on the lowest gear when the engine runs at two-thirds of the maximum speed.

Two gearboxes

Not simply when building a car with automatic transmission. Then an extra gearbox was required for the car and with that extra job. Therefore, many have applied for a dispensation against the rule and had to use speed bar instead.

The new rules from the Swedish Transport Agency eliminate the requirement for downshifting of the lowest gear.

- It will be easier to inspect the cars now. The engine does not draw as much fuel and the engine does not wear out as much, says Beatrice Lidström from Näsåker. One of many young people in the village driving an A-tractor.

Want to go faster

Beatrice Lidström and several others we meet think that the new rules are a step in the right direction. But there is more to be desired. Among other things, that A-tractors would be allowed to drive for 45 kilometers per hour as a moped car.
