It says trucks and other heavy vehicles should be fitted with Advanced Emergency Braking Systems (AEBS) and Lane Departure Warning (LDW) Systems as of 2013. These measures will reduce fatal casualties in traffic by an estimated 5,000 a year. At the same time the Commission proposes the obligatory introduction in 2012 of low rolling resistance tyres, which might reduce noise as well as fuel consumption, while maintaining high level safety.   Time:2008-06-04 Source:NaviForum Shanghai News Center Relative
