Legislation

One of the most significant issues affecting motor vehicle production is a vehicle’s ability to meet existing and future legislation. International vehicles such as the Ford Mondeo and Transit or the VW Passat will be designed to meet virtually all global laws whereas more regional vehicles, such as those for India or Russia, will often be designed to much lower legal specifications.



In this section we look at some of the key legislation affecting the majority of vehicles on our roads. We will also look more specifically at how the requirements in EU and US law vary.
