licence needed for refridgeration van

our local butcher has come into our garage and asked us to try our best and see if we can find out how to get refridgeration licence on english plated van,he has to have this before changing it onto spanish plates,there must be somewhere here for him, otherwise it means he has to take van back to england to get it. any ideas, thanks.

Hi

As far as I'm aware you are not able to re register a English commercial vehicle or car-derived van in Spain

I may be wrong, there may be loophole

Assuming it's right hand drive, he will not be able to register it in Spain, and anyway, any alterations to the original spec (e.g. converting it to a refridgerated vehicle) would need to be recorded on the vehicle documents as official alterations (homologated)

thanks for replys ,the van is refridgerated,i have probably worded all this wrongly,i will find out from the lads next week and ask again,there is a specific word for all of this and i think i may have explained it wrongly, thanks again, yvonne.

Homologation may be the word you're looking for.

As explained by previous posters you cannot legally re-matriculate any type of rhd commercialvehicle. You can actually  see some driving around & on sale , generally around the Alicante area, but in the event of a serious accident involving court appearances the registration will be rescinded as incorrectly registered.

Many of those registered have come for re-registration on French plates , where it is legal to re-reg a rhd van, & looked to have slipped through.
