Driving licence, Germany
Hello,
I am translating an old German driving licence. The part I am struggling with says:
erhaelt die Erlaubnis .........ein Kraftzeug mit Antrieb durch Verbrennungsmaschine der Klasse drei - vier mit Antrieb jeder Art zu fuehren.
My translation so far:
is allowed .......... to drive a motor vehicle powered by combustion engine
belonging to class [struck through] – three – four *) ?????????.
I am stuck on the "mit Antrieb jeder Art", because the combustion engine has already been specified, so it seems odd to put "powered in any way whatsoever" or similar.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks in advance.

Internal combustion engine + all other types of drives
First of all you should use the term "internal combustion engine" for Verbrennungsmotoren.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine
Internal combustion engines practically and theoretically are not the only means of propulsion. Think of the steam engine (external combustion engine) or electric motor!
Hence it makes sense to point this out by e.g. "all other types of drives" or "all other means of propulsion"

Für mich sieht es so aus, dass die Klassen 1,2 und 3 mit Verbrennungsmotor gefahren werden dürfen und die Klasse 4 mit Motoren jeder Art.
