Transport Canada recently revealed plans to amend the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations to introduce requirements for the installation of electronic stability control on newly built three-axle trucks beginning in August 2017 with motor coaches expected to follow in 2019.
The regulation seeks to harmonize with the U.S. rule introduced in 2015 by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and will affect new equipment only, starting with three-axle trucks with a gross vehicle weight greater than 11,793 kg while all other trucks and motor coaches will be phased in by Aug. 1, 2019.
