alerts India: The government mandates AVAS in all new EVs from October 2026 to enhance pedestrian safety and align with global standards.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Introduction_to_the_New_Regulation\"><\/span>Introduction to the New Regulation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Indian government has proposed a significant safety measure aimed at enhancing road safety for pedestrians and other road users. According to a draft notification issued by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), all electric passenger and commercial vehicles\u2014specifically those in categories M (passenger vehicles) and N (goods vehicles)\u2014will be required to be equipped with an Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS) starting from October 1, 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_AVAS_and_How_Does_It_Work\"><\/span>What Is AVAS and How Does It Work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS) is a safety feature designed to emit artificial sounds from electric vehicles, alerting pedestrians, cyclists, and other road users of the vehicle&#8217;s presence. This is particularly crucial at low speeds, as electric vehicles operate much more quietly than traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. The AVAS will activate automatically when the vehicle moves at speeds up to 20 km\/h, ensuring that the vehicle is audible to nearby individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Exemptions_and_Implementation_Timeline\"><\/span>Exemptions and Implementation Timeline<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposed regulation specifies that all new models of electric vehicles must be equipped with AVAS by October 1, 2026. Existing models will have an additional year, until October 1, 2027, to comply with this requirement. However, it&#8217;s important to note that the mandate currently excludes electric two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and e-rickshaws, which also operate silently but are not covered under this regulation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Global_Context_and_Precedents\"><\/span>Global Context and Precedents<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">India&#8217;s move aligns with international standards set by countries like the United States, Japan, and members of the European Union, where similar AVAS regulations have been implemented to enhance pedestrian safety. These countries have recognized the risks posed by silent-running electric vehicles, particularly to visually impaired individuals, and have taken steps to mitigate these risks through mandatory sound alert systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Implications_for_Road_Safety\"><\/span>Implications for Road Safety<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The introduction of AVAS is expected to significantly reduce pedestrian accidents involving electric vehicles. Studies have shown that electric vehicles are more likely to be involved in pedestrian accidents than their internal combustion engine counterparts, primarily due to their silent operation at low speeds.
