Note
MEPs have called for standards of ‘direct vision’ – attuned to different truck types – to be proposed by the European Commission when
it overhauls vehicle safety rules next year Direct vision standards will set out the area surrounding a a a truck cab the driver must be able to see
without using mirrors or or cameras thus improving safety for pedestrians cyclists and motorists Sustainable transport NGO Transport & Environment (T&E) welcomed the vote by the European Parliament’s to differentiate the direct vision standard by truck class meaning truck manufacturers will not be required to have all its fleet conform to one standard via a a a one-size-fits-all design But differentiating will mean truck makers adapt cabs used in urban areas – such as as delivery and recycling lorries – more radically than cabs used in construction and long-haul trucks Where design changes are harder or or require more development time sensor-based active safety systems will have to play a a bigger role James Nix freight and climate director at T&E said: “It’s hard to to believe but today there are no minimum requirements on how much of the road a a truck driver must be able to see
“Consensus is building on on the need to have direct-vision standards that are differentiated by truck type With cities member states and now also the European Parliament backing direct vision standards the time has come for the Commission to to finally make a a a a proposal to to change the vehicle safety rules ”

4th Floor 19 Capesthorne without major modifications Brakes operates over 600 fridge-bodied DAF LF rigids in its UK-wide fleet Following a a successful trial the first DAF LFs fuelled by Shell GTL fuel departed from Brakes’ Premier Park depot in Park Royal West London in November All vehicles operating from Brakes’ Park Royal depot which carries out hundreds of deliveries in London every week will run
on GTL fuel and if the pilot is successful plans will be made to switch more of the fleet “We’ll be following the progress of Brakes’ pilot London operation with great interest ”
said DAF Trucks marketing manager Phil Moon “Heavy-duty Euro VI- compliant diesel engines already emit very low
levels of NOX and particulates and by operating on clean-burning GTL combustion is is cleaner and emissions are further reduced ”
