From this month of July 2024, there will be new features in new cars sold in Europe. The objective is, of course, to increase vehicle safety in order to reduce the number of victims on the roads. Eight new pieces of safety equipment will be mandatory in all new cars put on sale on the European market as part of the European Commission's “road safety package”.
From July 7, 2024, car manufacturers will have to integrate this new safety equipment into all new cars. But what does this change for motorists, concretely ? Let's take stock.
From this summer, new vehicles will have to incorporate cutting-edge technologies to ensure better safety for drivers, passengers, but also more vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians and cyclists. Obviously, this obligation for new advanced technologies has a cost, and this could well be reflected in the selling prices of future new cars. So that remains to be seen. If this proves true, this could perhaps be offset by a reduction in insurance premiums as well as a reduction in maintenance and repair costs.
Here are the different pieces of equipment that will be mandatory in new cars from July 2024 as part of the new GSR2 (General Safety Regulation 2):
Note that several new models already on the roads have these technologies which always ensure greater safety while driving. According to the European Commission, these mandatory new features on new vehicles could reduce the number of accidents and actively contribute to the objective of zero road deaths by 2050.
