Geneva
Agenda Item 18.8.
Draft GTR on Quiet Road Transport Vehicles (QRTV)

120. The representative of the United States of America informed the Committee that, since the previous session of AC.3 in June 2014, there had not been any meeting of the IWG on Quiet Road Transport Vehicles (QRTV). The Chair of GRB recalled that GRB had agreed to develop, in parallel to the UN GTR on QRTV, a draft UN Regulation on QRTV under the 1958 Agreement. He added that GRB had, to this end, established a new IWG (see para. 29 above) that had already started its activities. He informed AC.3 that the next meetings of the new IWG would take place in December 2014 and January 2015. He added that, depending on the progress made by this IWG, GRB would discuss, at its next session in January 2015, whether a draft UN GTR on QRTV could be finalized within the deadline of November 2015 or whether WP.29 should be requested to extend it.
