In Europe regular B license for cars only allow up to 3500 kg gross weight. For car or combination. That is already lot of car.

I did an internship for Mercedes and I was able to drive our mid-sized R&D bus as my (routine) American driver's license allowed me to drive vehicles and vehicle combinations up to 26000 lbs GVWR/GCWR. Several of my German colleagues did not have a license permitting them to drive it.
