Amendment: Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS) requirements

This regulation updates the technical requirements for Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Systems (AVAS). These systems ensure that quiet vehicles, such as electric and hybrid cars, produce a sound to alert pedestrians and vulnerable road users of their presence, improving road safety.

The changes affect vehicle manufacturers of cars, motorcycles, and agricultural vehicles. It updates the standards needed for EU-type approval to ensure consistent safety alerts across different vehicle types.
