EU - Amendment of the Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 on ELKS Type-Approval

On December 17, 2020, the European Commission released a draft of regulation laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards uniform procedures and technical specifications for the type-approval of motor vehicles with regard to their emergency lane keeping system (ELKS) for M1 and N1 vehicles.

The implementing act is based on the existing Regulations No 130 (lane departure warning for trucks) and No 79 (corrective steering) of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) already applied in the EU, as well as existing test protocols from Euro NCap. It sets out the performance criteria and test procedures for the approval of motor vehicles with respect of their emergency lane keeping system.
