The Future of Heavy Truck Safety in Europe Webinar

From July 2024, all new trucks sold in the EU must comply with the updated General Safety Regulations (GSR), which require a wide range of mandatory advanced safety features. The EU estimates the new regulations will save more than 25,000 lives by 2038, representing a giant step in its long-term goal of zero deaths on European roads by 2050.

This panel discussion answers the key questions:

• What are the key objectives of GSR, and how will the new regulations impact the EU’s road freight sector?
• Are Europe’s truck manufacturers and suppliers on track to meet GSR deadlines, and will all European countries adhere to the new regulations?
• Which of the mandatory safety requirements will prove most challenging to implement?
• How will the new legislative framework impact the cost of heavy trucks?
