Riders of two- and three-wheel vehicles represent around 16 % of the total number of road deaths in the EU but account for only 2 % of the total kilometres driven. Furthermore, the pollutant emissions of these vehicles are disproportionately high. There is a need to revise the rules in force in order to make these vehicles both safer and less polluting, and I welcome the adoption of this report by Parliament. From 2016, the more powerful motorcycles (capacity greater than 125 cc) will have to be equipped with anti-lock braking systems (ABS), and the less powerful ones (capacity lower than 125 cc) will have to be equipped at the minimum with combined braking systems (CBS). Furthermore, in order to improve their visibility to other traffic participants, an automatic headlight on (AHO) feature will also be introduced. The report also includes requirements in terms of these vehicles’ compliance with emissions standards: these requirements will increase gradually and reach Euro 5 emissions limits in 2020. The report also specifies the introduction of increasingly advanced on-board diagnostic systems (OBD), which will enable users to detect malfunctions and have them repaired where necessary."@en1
