This consultation seeks views on our proposal to require manufacturers seeking Great Britain (GB) type approval for vehicles produced in unlimited numbers to be fitted with a series of safety technologies.

Under this proposal, we intend to:

• introduce the mandatory fitting of 18 safety technologies for specific vehicle categories approved to the unlimited series under the GB type approval scheme
• outline the transitional arrangements for new vehicle types and their registrations
• gather views on requirements that may be necessary to ensure the safety technologies are retained and maintained following type approval and registration

We are seeking views on the:

• scope of our proposal requiring mass-produced vehicles to be equipped with new safety technologies
• appropriateness of setting different application dates for mandatory implementation of the safety technologies for new vehicle types and new registrations 
• requirements that may be necessary to ensure the safety technologies are retained and maintained following type approval and registration
