Agenda Item 15.
UN Regulation No. 125 (Forward field of vision of drivers)

37. The expert from the Netherlands on behalf of IWG on Field of Vision Assistant (FVA) of Drivers, introduced the IWG status report (GRSG-126-33). He explained that IWG had finalized the work within the mandate and developed a new UN Regulation on FVA (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2024/27 and amendment GRSG-127-20-Rev.3), which applied to all vehicle categories M and N, and replaced the specific requirements introduced on FVA in UN Regulation No. 125, 02 series of Amendments for M1 and N1 vehicles. He therefore introduced a proposal (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2024/23 and amendment GRSG-127-22-Rev.1) to amend the UN Regulation accordingly. He also added that this last proposal was needed as per paragraphs 10, 12, 13, 17 and 19 and 22. He added that a second phase of IWG was not foreseen at this stage, (for other categories of vehicles, e.g. L category), because experience was first needed on the conventional category of vehicles. Finally, GRSG adopted the proposals and requested the secretariat to submit them for consideration and vote at the November 2024 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1 as draft:

  1. 03 series of Amendments to the UN Regulation (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2024/23, as amended by annex VIII to the session report);
  2. New UN Regulation on FVA (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2024/27 as amended by GRSG-127-20-Rev.3).
