MoRTH plans outcome-based safety norms for two-wheelers
The Centre is preparing revised two-wheeler safety rules centred on braking performance and stopping distance, rather than mandatory ABS or CBS technologies. The approach could give motorcycle and scooter makers more engineering flexibility, subject to stakeholder consultation.
MoRTH plans performance-based two-wheeler safety norms focused on measurable braking outcomes and stopping distances, replacing mandatory technology-specific ABS/CBS requirements. The proposed framework would give manufacturers engineering flexibility while strengthening safety standards for motorcycles and scooters.
Why this matters
MoRTH's braking-based two-wheeler proposal follows its recent proposals for three-year PUC and PUCC validity for newer BS-VI private vehicles, signaling broader revisions to vehicle compliance rules.
