I agree alot of positives, just hope that next Thurs they vote yes to the changes. If they do there will be decisions made in the next 5 months. Also a scramble for RFQs with truck, bus, commercial van makers. Good thing there is that Mercedes, GM and Ford are in the commercial van market already. Who will they turn to for a solution? Hopefully the same Co that is working on their cars. In the letter from the European Transport Safety Council the footnote to MEP's
A call to support the Commission’s full package of vehicle safety measures
In conclusion, we would like to ask you, and your colleagues on the IMCO committee to support the full package of measures proposed by the European Commission. Cherry picking will harm the overall effectiveness because of the way the systems and passive safety measures work together.
As this Parliament’s mandate draws to a close, we urge you and your colleagues to take this historic, once-in-a-generation opportunity to reduce deaths and serious injuries on our roads.
Yours sincerely,
Antonio Avenoso, Executive Director, European Transport Safety Council (ETSC)
