Proposal to introduce UBE_certified in templates for the information document and WLTP test report, clarify that test results must be within 2 percent of the declared value, and specify the number of significant figures to be used for Usable Battery Energy of the vehicle at certification as related to level 1A requirements in Annex A1 and Annex A2 to UN R154.

Document outlines preparation for establishing a Task Force on Swappable Battery under GRPE. Identifies sustainability aspects including on-board battery use as renewable energy buffer, battery cost and separate sale/lease models, vehicle lifespan exceeding battery life requiring service exchange, and battery replacement due to technology evolution. Lists issues for WP.29 framework covering vehicle approval with different battery pack numbers, separate battery approval, safety measures during swapping, attachment functionality, durability requirements, battery history tracing, cyber security, battery failure alerts, software updates, battery lifetime definition, and compatibility checking between battery and vehicle combinations. Proposes establishment of new Task Force under GRPE with collaboration among existing groups, two-step approach for identifying work items and drafting Terms of Reference, and timeline for five Task Force meetings from December 2026 to April 2027.

Proposal to revise the generic transfer function coefficient based on 2026 test campaign results, revise the ALI range for specific transfer function assessment, integrate assessment criteria for both test methods, and delete the coefficient of determination (R²) requirement since delta ALI and RMSE are sufficiently tight for assessment.

The document describes an ACPE system for judging pedal misapplication from driver accelerator pedal operation and vehicle motion without object detection sensors, and suppresses sudden acceleration. The system performs pedal error checks to determine whether sudden accelerator operation may be pedal misapplication, non-operation checks to verify whether the scene involves intended acceleration, and suppresses acceleration if steps determine pedal error. The system does not activate during intended acceleration in hard-to-distinguish scenes including turning, changing lanes, starting at stop signs or signal lights, and steep uphill driving. False positive activation depends on driver maneuver; measures applied in Japan include offering the system as an option, restricting access to dedicated key users only, and explaining possible false positive activation at point of sale.

The IWG on ACPE shall review UN Regulations on ACPE, modify them if necessary, add provisions for a new draft UN GTR on ACPE, and prepare a draft UN GTR on ACPE for submission to GRVA for adoption. The text shall be performance based and technology neutral. The IWG will be managed by three Co-Chairs (Japan, Germany, and Canada) and a Secretary (OICA), report to GRVA, remain open to all WP.29 participants, conduct work in English, and reach decisions by consensus. The IWG will deliver a new UN GTR on ACPE for the September 2028 session of GRVA, with adoption expected at WP.29’s 206th session in March 2029.

Document presents proposed text for Emergency Door Opening requirements to be discussed by Canada and Korea at the next EDO meeting. Proposals address owner’s manual provisions requiring detailed information on door opening and confirmation that the door opening system is intuitive and door handles are readily identifiable; secondary power supply requirements for latch release controls with warnings of failure; intuitiveness of latch release controls and door handles; replacement of the term ‘close vicinity’ with objective boundary criteria within the perimeter of the door frame; and inadvertent operation provisions for side doors with front-mounted hinges requiring interior door handles to be inoperative at vehicle speeds of 4 km/h or greater and provision of door closure warning systems.

Proposal for an updated justification section.
