"Mr President, Mr Tajani, in the context of today’s debate, I would like to draw attention to a new danger which has arisen with the spread of electric and hybrid vehicles. Put briefly, in urban conditions these vehicles are too quiet. Paradoxically, the low noise level, which might be considered an advantage, can be a real hazard for children and the elderly and, in particular, for blind people. Therefore, we should already be thinking about how to avoid accidents involving hybrid cars, because the only noise they make is the sound of their tyres running on the asphalt. We need, then, to answer the following questions as quickly as possible: should these cars make a noise, and if so, what kind of noise and how loud should it be? Should we not already be putting an obligation on producers to develop systems which warn that a vehicle is approaching and to install them as standard?"@en1
