The risk
The passenger van has uneven material strength in certain areas of the bonnet. In the event of a collision with a pedestrian, this could reduce the bonnet’s ability to absorb impact energy and increase the severity of injuries to the pedestrian. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles.
