Proposal to amend the draft text to introduce provisions for radiant warmers into the regulation.

Proposal to align UN R122 to technological progress concerning the use of radiation warmers in electric vehicles. The radiation warmer is expected to increase energy efficiency of EV and is also able to prevent the sharp reduction of All Electric Range (AER).
