With concern for the legal environment in which it is evolving, P-Tronic is a manufacturer very much concerned by the recognition of additional box-units as car equipment in their own right. We are fighting to have a European framework established in this matter.
Certain countries have already demonstrated their positions fairly clearly in favour of the additional box-unit. This is the case in Germany, where the well-known certification organism Tüv has accredited certain additional box-units (most of which are manufactured by P-Tronic) within the framework of anti-pollution legislation. When a box-unit is approved and registered, the vehicle to which it is connected is officially recognised as 'a vehicle whose power has been increased'.
P-Tronic would like the German model to spread to countries like Belgium and France, where a current legal void exists.
