New Bills for Regulating the Vehicle Market
July 27, 2026
Two new bills from the Department of Road Transport aim to regulate the vehicle market. These bills establish approval and oversight authorities while recognizing vehicle trading as a profession. Following issues related to safety and airbag recalls, there is a clear need for better regulation. The first bill addresses the return of faulty products and defines recall and withdrawal procedures. The oversight authority will have increased powers for inspections and ensuring compliance by manufacturers.
