What is GTB?
GTB is the global group of vehicle manufacturers, system suppliers, light source manufacturers, testing laboratories and academia working to assure regulation and safety of automotive lighting systems and their installation.
Our principal activity today is the preparation of proposals for new and amended UNECE Regulations, taking into account: – technical development; – actual testing experience; – safety; – economic implications with a view to practical application.
– to promote safety, avoid regulatory barriers and remove unnecessary administrative burden to innovation and international trade; – take into account national operational and cultural aspects; – to be the partner of choice of governmental regulatory bodies in order to develop and maintain high quality, globally harmonised technical requirements.
Our Vision
