Letter from T&E and partners calling the Commission to improve the safety of lorry cabins
This letter, by Transport & Environment, Transport for London, the European Cyclists Federation and the European Federation of Road Traffic Victims is about the review of weights and dimensions of lorries and the importance of lorry road safety in that review.
T&E believes that improvements to lorry cab design, e.g. to eliminate blind spots both to the front and to the side and improve crash performance and pedestrian protection, have an enormous potential to make European roads a safer place.
This Directive provides a rare opportunity to tackle this pressing issue and must not be missed. That means safety must be a top priority and that the Commission must drive this issue forward.
