Detail
Seeks views on proposals to create a vehicle type approval scheme for Great Britain. This will be a newly established and permanent replacement to the existing interim scheme that came into force at the end of the transition period with the EU.
The scheme proposes to:
- be the basis for future changes to technical requirements to enable innovation, such as increased vehicle automation
- extend the existing scheme for road vehicles, motorcycles and tractors to allow for an orderly transition to the full scheme
- apply the interim scheme to components, trailers and engines for machinery
