ALSTOM APTIS electric bus — injuries risk

EU Safety GateSerious riskInjuriesJun 25, 2021

Hazard

In the event of failure of the Controller Area Network (CAN) communication of the traction chain when the vehicle is stopped or in departure mode, the absence of information at low speed can block the rear axle when the driver expects it to follow the departure mode rule. That results in a deviation in trajectory, increasing the risk of an accident. The product does not comply with the requirements laid down in the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
