Whole Vehicle Type Approval comes a step closer
The European Parliament has just agreed, the " Recast Framework Directive" that paves the way for the wholesale extension of whole vehicle type approval.The way is now clear for this new law to apply to all those vehicles that weren"t included before,
Van and truck bodywork, trailers, buses, coaches and motor homes will all be affected, with far reaching implications for all who make, sell or buy them
If the manufacturers of these type of vehicles dont act quickly or fail get the right approvals then they WILL go bust.
The SMMT is already working with the DfT and its agencies to help firms understand what they need to do. this law wont bite immediately,but for those people who fail to plan the future shure aint bright
ive mentioned this before but look at the niche vehicles that are made that this will affect
ambulances
hearses
stretch limos
ice cream vans
kit cars ?built up
one off commercial vehicles
etc etc
i have just been in a struggle to get the dvla to accept a conversion on a transit as not needing single type approval and all i did was change the body configuration ,so frightening times ahead i think

"stretch limos"
I wonder why that doesn't worry me ?

ok maybe i was trying to get the younger vote with that one as i too cant stand the things,sex machines on wheels i think :-O

I am suddenly interested.

What sort of sex would that be, then?

Sex on wheels aka stretch limos indeed; during an extended 'boys only' trip to Crimea, a few years ago, a few of us rented a Lincoln stretch job that had part of the roof cut out and a dancers pole poking up through to a bracket attached to the boot- the rental came complete with a selection of 'ladies' ............the introduction of this new type approval may increase the availability of such vehicles here in Ukraine:- sounds ok to me
