NEW REGULATiONS to limit vehicle noise are being considered by the European Parliament.
Proposals from the European Commission would require manufacturers of LGVs and other vehicles to meet specified decibel sound levels once these are agreed by MEPs. The regulation will also require that buyers are provided with sound levels at the time of purchase.
“The provision of information to fleet managers and consumers may influence the transition to a quieter vehicle fleet,” says an EC spokesman.
