“The balancing act between EU regulations and economic viability”
We are pleased to share that a new article authored by our Managing Director, Stefano Mastrogiovanni, has been published in the latest issue Fahrzeug+Karosserie (11/2025).

Key aspects include:
– The distinction between type approval and individual vehicle approval
– Simplifications and exemptions under Regulation (EU) 2018/858
– The increasing impact of the General Safety Regulation II (EU) 2019/2144
– Practical implications for Articles 44 and 45 individual approvals
