Abstract

Disclosed are laminated glazings with low light transmission for use in motor vehicles. The glazings include at least two glass sheets assembled by means of a thermoplastic interlayer sheet, which have a light transmission (TL) less than 35%, an energy transmission less than 15%, and calorimetric characteristics such that on the CIE chromaticity diagram it is included within the perimeter defined by the co-ordinate points: B(0.2600; 0.3450); F(0.3300; 0.3300);
