[attachment=39490]
Current Situation
Some Directives over 35 years old
Around 50 base Directives covering vehicle safety issues
Many duplicate UNECE Regulations
– others lag behind
Proposed Regulation on General Vehicle Safety
Proposal provides:
Regulatory Simplification
Advanced Vehicle Safety
New Requirements on Tyres
- Impact Assessment completed
IMPACT ASSESMENT SUMMARY
Mandatory measures can save around 5,000 lives and 35,000 serious injuries per year across EU27
Tyre measures can contribute up to 7g/km towards CO2 reduction targets
Average vehicle purchase cost increase from all mandatory measures around 200 Euro for cars and 2500 Euro for heavy vehicles
Running costs for motorists likely to be reduced due to improved fuel economy.
