uin	186620
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/06/2023 answer text <p>The Department for Transport commissioned research to assess the perceived safety risk from quiet electric vehicles to vision-impaired pedestrians in 2011. This research indicated that electric vehicles had sound levels similar to vehicles propelled by combustion engines above speeds of approximately 12 miles per hour but could be more difficult to detect at lower speeds.</p><p> </p><p>Vehicle approval requirements were therefore introduced to mandate sound generators, known as Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Systems (AVAS), on new types of quiet electric and hybrid vehicles. AVAS has been required for new vehicles registered from 1 July 2021. The requirements ensure that vehicles that can be operated on electric power only will always produce a specified level of noise below 12 miles per hour and during reversing.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 05/06/2023 14:15:00 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

uin	186307
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/06/2023 answer text <p>Increasing volumes of electric vehicles (EVs) are likely to have minimal impacts on roads in general, including on deterioration and longevity. Vehicles have been increasing in weight for many years, driven by consumer choice and improving safety and environmental performance technologies. While some EVs are heavier than their internal combustion engine (ICE) equivalents, there are many examples where EVs are lighter than the heaviest ICE vehicles currently on the market.</p><p> </p><p>Maximum axle weight or gross vehicle weight limits are in place to avoid excessive road wear and damage. Heavy commercial vehicles, rather than passenger vehicles, are the dominant factor determining road design and weight limits.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 05/06/2023 11:44:53 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
