Translation
acoustic vehicle alerting system
A system that alerts road users by an audible signal to the approach of a hybrid electric or electrically driven vehicle (art. 1.1 Regeling voertuigen). It exists because silent vehicles are not heard by pedestrians, children and blind people. As a driver this means: never count on being heard, and look extra carefully at crossings, in a residential area and in car parks.
