Type approval

[Leapoffaith]

I’m sure this has been discussed elsewhere but a staff member at my dealership said to me today when I visited, that the vehicles were still being held up by type approval. I assumed that this should have been done months ago.
Does anyone have anymore details on this?

It must be done or the first deliveries wouldn’t have happened.

Black with alloys if anyone wanted to see how it looks

Have a look here:

Communication is ZERO! Does anyone know what is going on? (INEOS Automotive)

This is the sticker inside the drivers door well: e9*2018/858*11384 👍 So type approval taken out in Spain (e9). REGULATION (EU) 2018/858 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 30 May 2018 on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems...

I am pretty sure that is not the case.

I think in Ireland they’re still waiting on Revenue classification for motor tax - business & pleasure. Insurance companies now have the car profile available to quote so I’d take it Type approval has been obtained in IE for that to happen ….. but happy to be corrected!

Insurance Co did ask me if FM or TM edition. Haven’t got price yet as have to wait for del date before they’ll commit

That would just be the EU type approval wouldn't it, nothing further to add for the Irish market in terms of type approval?

Yeah, good point. Maybe there’s a certain amount of autonomy for each country? Friends differ etc …… but let’s not go there I’d say it’s more tax authorities approving how it can be classed for commercial/BIK etc.

Can anyone clear up for me if in the uk, we need separate confirmation from the VCA (vehicle certification agency) as we are no longer an EU. Member?

Ie Vehicle Type Approval is the confirmation that production samples of a type of vehicle, vehicle system, component or separate technical unit will meet specified performance standards. The GB type approval scheme is applicable for manufacturers wishing to place vehicles and components on the market in Great Britain.

Have a look here, some details have changed a little but I think is broadly true:

Mandatory speed limiter EU on all cars from July 2022 and retrofitted in every other car by 2024

European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval for Grenadier cost a smidgeon more than £110. If you are interested, I think the next series Grenadier Type Approvals will be for its ADAS systems which obviously be incorporate speed limiting functionality. I don't know the timescales but the ADAS...
