The Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) and Motor Vehicles (Type Approval for Goods Vehicles) (Great Britain) (Amendment) Regulations 2006
These Regulations amend the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 (“the Construction and Use Regulations”) to incorporate the requirements of Directives 2005/55/EC and 2005/78/EC, as amended by Directive 2006/51/EC, on vehicle emissions into the domestic requirements concerning the design, construction, equipment and use of vehicles. They also amend the provisions relating to emissions requirements for end-of-series vehicles to ensure that European law is fully implemented. Finally, they align the calculation of the maximum number of vehicles that may enter into service under the emissions end-of-series provisions, both in the Construction and Use Regulations and under the Motor Vehicles (Type Approval for Goods Vehicles) (Great Britain) 1982 (“the Type Approval for Goods Vehicles Regulations”), with that used in European law, and, in particular, Directive 70/156/EEC.
