SMMT backs EU safety plans
The SMMT has come out in support of EU plans to introduce regulation for speed limiters on all new vehicles from 2022.
Mike Hawes, SMMT chief executive, said, ‘The safety of motorists, passengers and other road users is the number one priority of the automotive industry. Manufacturers invest billions in safety technology, often ahead of any regulation. Industry innovation and consumer appetite is already driving adoption, and many new cars are fitted with intelligent speed limiters and other new safety features such as autonomous emergency braking as standard.’
