- 2024 February 28, Oscar Lundberg, “EU-parlamentet vill se höjd åldersgräns för A-traktor”, in SVT Nyheter:
  Förslaget innebär att ett B1-körkort, med en åldersgräns på 16 år, ska krävas för att få köra A-traktor, som även kallas EPA-traktor.
  The proposal suggests that a B1 driver's license, with a minimum age of 16, should be required to drive an A-tractor, also known as an EPA tractor.

In 1975 a new classification standard was introduced, which also introduced the term A-traktor.
According to some enthusiasts, only a vehicle classified before 1975 can be a "true" epatraktor. But both epatraktor and A-traktor are generally accepted synonyms.
