On 10 March 2015 the European Parliament gave its final approval to new EU rules for safer and more eco-friendly lorries (Directive 2013/0195), put forward by the Commission. These rules would allow manufacturers to develop more aerodynamic lorries which could reduce fuel consumption by 7-10%, cut emissions of greenhouse gases, and also enhance road safety.
