The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders plans a special seminar on minibus Type Approval for November 27.

Held at Scania's Milton Keynes office, the event is specifically for minibus makers and their suppliers and the dealers that order minibus conversions.

The aim is to explain the coming EU Type Approval law and its implications for all the firms in the supply chain.

The seminar will discuss the importance of choosing the right road to certification - particularly important for the minibus sector as ECE legislation offers a more up-to-date and continually evolving alternative to the EU Bus and Coach Construction Directive.
