Chain of Responsibility – Burden or Opportunity?
From mid-2018 the Chain of Responsibility provisions of the HVNL will include two new aspects.

ComVec will reveal how these changes have the potential to drive the adoption for innovative features such as advanced braking systems and telemetry, assisting operators in meeting their COR obligations.
