The Automated Vehicles (Marketing Restrictions) Regulations 2026
The notification G/TBT/N/GBR/116 was adopted on 1 July 2026 and published on 7th July 2026 on The Automated Vehicles (Marketing Restrictions) Regulations 2026. The Regulations enter into force on 7 January 2027; compliance with the instrument must be completed by this date.

That section provides that restricted terms may be used in connection with road vehicles only if used in connection with authorised automated vehicles. Subject to potential defences provided for by section 78 of the Act, a person commits an offence by using a restricted term in connection with the promotion or supply to Great Britain of a road vehicle, or of a product intended for use as equipment of a road vehicle, if the road vehicle is not an authorised automated vehicle. An authorised automated vehicle is a road vehicle authorised under section 3 of the Act for use as an automated vehicle.
