European Commission Requests Comments on a Proposed EU Regulation Covering Event Data Recorders for Heavy Duty Motor Vehicles
On May 21, 2024, the European Commission published a draft Regulation specifying the technical requirements and test procedures for Event Data Recorders (EDR's) fitted to heavy duty motor vehicles for public comment.
