This lack of noise can mean that they pose a danger to other road users, especially people who are blind or partially sighted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For that reason, with an AVAS installed, vehicles will need to make a sound while traveling under 12 mph, or while reversing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each manufacturer will be able to decide what their AVAS will sound like, but the EU,s legislation&nbsp;says that the sound should be similar to (and not louder than) a traditional combustion engine <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More info: <a href=\"https:\/\/publications.europa.eu\/en\/publication-detail\/-\/publication\/fe98a835-e656-11e3-8cd4-01aa75ed71a1\/language-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/publications.europa.eu\/en\/publication-detail\/-\/publication\/fe98a835-e656-11e3-8cd4-01aa75ed71a1\/language-en<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A five-year transitional period has now ended&nbsp;for all&nbsp;new models of electric cars sold in the EU: they must now make&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":1523,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>New rules will make electric and hybrid vehicles safer for pedestrians - Wallbox Help Center<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/support.wallbox.com\/en\/new-rules-will-make-electric-and-hybrid-vehicles-safer-for-pedestrians\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"New rules will make electric and hybrid vehicles safer for pedestrians - Wallbox Help Center\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A five-year transitional period has now ended&nbsp;for all&nbsp;new models of electric cars sold in the EU: they must now make...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/support.wallbox.com\/en\/new-rules-will-make-electric-and-hybrid-vehicles-safer-for-pedestrians\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Wallbox Help Center\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-07-30T10:41:19+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-09-10T11:24:14+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/support.wallbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/New-rules-will-make-electric-and-hybrid-vehicles-safer-for-pedestrians.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1290\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"566\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Sarah Mebarki\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/support.wallbox.com\/en\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/support.wallbox.com\/en\/\",\"name\":\"Wallbox Help Center\",\"description\":\"Get help for our products &amp;
