HESTOCON designated as TS for VECTO calculations
Introduction
In the context of the European climate objectives, CO2 emissions from vehicle combinations must be drastically reduced. As part of this, regulations have been published to determine the influence of towed vehicles on the emissions of the towing vehicle. This influence is calculated with a simulation tool provided by the EU, in which the built trailer is compared with a reference trailer.
For the time being, only certain categories of closed trailers fall under the scope of the legislation (min. 8000kg, max. 3 axles, closed body, ..) From July 2024 at the latest, manufacturers of these vehicles are obliged to inform their customers about the efficiency of the trailer compared to a standard reference trailer.
Application by the manufacturer
Manufacturers who build fewer than 30 type-approved vehicles within the scope annually, and manufacturers who only apply for individual approval (IVA) for these vehicles, may have the calculation carried out by a Technical Service.
Dutch RDW has authorized HESTOCON Technical Service for this. As a result, HESTOCON Technical Service can make these VECTO calculations for you.
Please contact us for the possibilities or to make an application.
HESTOCON designated as Technical Service
HESTOCON TS is designated by RDW as an officially recognized Technical Service.
This means that from now on HESTOCON TS can do the vehicle testing to obtain the european Whole Vehicle Type Approval and its system approvals.
We can also perform a company audit and make a Factory Inspection Report with which it is possible to obtain the COP approval.
Please contact us for the possibilities or to make an appointment.
