Europe raises limit to 120 km for commercial vehicles
German pact electronically limit their vehicles to 250 km / h seems to be put in place to promote vehicle safety, an issue which is discussed for some time. Now the European Union is considering an initiative that has not so far past that, it proposes to limit to 120km / h speed vans and commercial vehicles.
The move aims not so much for security, which is also included in the package, but by the need to limit CO2 emissions to the atmosphere in these vehicles is quite important. With the estimates seem to be achieved to minimize emissions of commercial vehicles up to current levels of tourism.
The technological improvements increasingly able to reduce pollution and consumption, but such a ban would ensure low emissions. Companies with a fleet of commercial vehicles are fully in favor, helping them to reduce fuel and possible fines.
The drivers in turn are not too happy because they think they can reduce the attention on the road. A tricky aspect where I’m sure there are many opinions: if you want to mine the limitation does not seem a good course of action, but the promotion of technological research and helps to renew the fleet.
