ERF's European range of vehicles is believed to be the first British heavy range to have completed testing for compliance with the requirements of certain EEC directives concerning safety and the environment.
The DoE has granted approval for the vehicle covering four major directives. These are braking, sound levels, smoke emissions and rear-view mirrors.
Only minor modifications have been necessary to the braking system and engine to enable the vehicle to comply.
The directives become mandatory in the three main overseas countries in which ERFs are sold—France, Belgium and Holland—from October 1.
