Consultation about updating the GB type approval regime to reflect developments in vehicle safety regulations in the European Union and internationally through the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE).

This will support the automotive industry by streamlining vehicle approvals processes and avoid the need for unique GB designs or duplicate testing for those selling into both the UK and EU.
