Not any more.
C and D are completly separate licence categories.
You have to pass test separately for each.
You also need to pass tests for CPC to drive professionally.

There are different minimum ages also - 18 for a truck, 21 for a bus.

There is one small connection between the two categories:

If you have a full articulated truck licence (E+C) and a full bus licence (D) you may apply for, and be granted a bus and trailer licence (E+D) without a test.
