Concerns over loopholes allowing American pickup trucks to bypass safety and environmental regulations
A group of European road safety and environmental organisations has voiced significant concerns about the growing number of American-market pickup trucks entering the European Union through a regulatory loophole. These trucks, notably the Dodge Ram, have been using the “Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA)” process to sidestep crucial EU safety and environmental regulations.
E-Scooters
A 20 km/h factory-set speed limit, larger wheels, a ban on passengers and pavement riding, compulsory helmets and a minimum age of 16. These are some of the recommendations set out in a new report on e-scooters from ETSC and the UK Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety (PACTS).
