As part of an ongoing bid to make vehicles safer, the latest amendment to Australian Design Rules will see Electronic Stability Control (ESC) compulsory in new model passenger cars from November 2011.
Following on from this is a requirement that all new passenger cars be fitted with ESC from November 2013, regardless of when they were introduced.
While the initial regulation covers only passenger vehicles, a spokesman for Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Anthony Albanese says commercial vehicles will be next in line.
