EU Global Safety Regulation
Together with ETSC, ECF, Polis and other NGOs, IFP fights hard to have the final technical requirements right for ISA (Intelligent Speed Assistance). This is part of the Global Safety Regulation, a European package that mandates a number of very valuable safety features on all new cars from 2022/2024 onwards. Seemingly small technical details are crucially important to mandate an effective system that will significantly reduce speeding and has been calculated to save many lives. Implementing a good system within the EU will also have its repercutions in the rest of the world. See our latest position statement.

Embrace the smart car kilometer reduction in Brussels
Brussels plans to start with congestion charges, but Flanders and Wallonia are heavily opposed. In an open letter published in De Morgen (in Dutch) and Le Soir (in French) to the President of the Walloon Region after his recent request to delay, IFP president Geert van Waeg explains why they should embrace it. (Englih version).
