The outcome? Better products, achieving the same result with less energy and more intelligence in the design. And this is how the humble vacuum cleaner got better. — Regulation (EU) 666/2013 on ecodesign requirements for vacuum cleaners. In force since 1 September 2014.

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu So, why wait? Maximize the Horsepower in Cars! If you have 500 of 100 hp, you can not go faster than 50-80-120. So, max 200 hp in 2028, 150 hp in 2032 and 100 hp in 2036 for new cars and motorcycles. I bet that less energyconsumption will be the effect.

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu And per September 1, 2017, the maximum use became 900 watts. Meanwhile I can still just sweep my parquetry with a soft broom and sometimes do some wet cleaning.

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu Which products do you plan to forcefully eco-optimize next? I think SUV, although, these would be better interdicted instead of omptimized.
