Yes - anything with clear or white reflectors/lenses is referred to as "Euro" - complying with ECE (Economic Comission for Europe) Regulations/standards. It is not currently possible to produce a single car design that meets both ECE and FMVSS approvals, but it is growing easier as both sets of regulations evolve. Given the size of the U.S. vehicle market, and differing marketing strategies in North America vs. the rest of the world, many manufacturers produce vehicles in three versions: North American, rest-of-world (RHD) and rest-of-world (LHD).[/QUOTE]
The irony is that both the US and Canada are members of the ECE. In the case of the US since the ECEs inception in '47 and Canada since the mid '70s.
That means the said same US regulators have access to the same planning data/statistics as the European regulators and have the same input into the ECE regulations as any other member of the commission - yet in the case of indicators choose their own path - net result - ugly amber indicators :wink:
