From July 7, 2026, the General Safety Regulation (GSR II) will require all new motorhomes registered in the EU to be equipped with eight electronic driver assistance systems. The mandatory package includes: intelligent speed assistance, driver drowsiness detection, alcohol interlock preparation, reversing camera, lane keeping assist, emergency braking system, and tyre pressure monitoring. The requirements apply to all new vehicles, including converted commercial vans first registered as motorhomes after that date.
According to industry estimates, this will increase the cost of new vehicles by 1000–3000 euros. Older models are not subject to retrofitting, but a temporary transitional provision applies to vehicles already produced.
