Updated text for the use stage of the proposed Mutual Resolution No. 5 concerning Automotive Life Cycle Assessment (A-LCA) addressing use stage methodology, including system boundaries encompassing in-use energy consumption and GHG emissions covering well-to-tank and tank-to-wheel impacts, maintenance and consumables impacts, and leakages; defining service life values by contracting parties based on official data on vehicle age at recycling; establishing level concepts for selecting regional certification energy consumption values and determining discrepancy and deterioration factors to represent real-world performance; specifying methodologies for calculating in-use energy consumption for vehicles with single and dual-mode powertrains including off-vehicle charging hybrid electric vehicles; addressing methane, hydrogen, and fluorocarbon emissions; providing maintenance scope including consumables and maintenance parts with associated frequency determination; excluding replacement of major powertrain components by default unless justified; and requiring collection of specified activity data and GHG emission factors. Full text of the draft MR5 previously submitted as GRPE/2026/2.
Proposal to amend para. 6.3.1. to clarify use stage system boundaries, revise para. 6.3.2.1. regarding service life methodology and regional adaptation, delete and rewrite para. 6.3.3. on use stage consumption to introduce level concepts for certification values and restructure discrepancy and deterioration factor determination, reserve sections on vehicles with dual-mode powertrains and fuel cell and OVC-HEV deterioration calculations pending further development, amend para. 6.3.3.2.2.2. addressing OVC-HEV battery degradation (reserved), add para. 6.3.6.7. on swappable parts (reserved), and update Table 14 to include parts and/or components defined by vehicle manufacturer as mandatory for Level 3/Level 4 assessments, supported by GRPE/2026/2.

Proposal to amend para. 5.3.3.2. to clarify that steering shall remain possible with performance laid down in para. 6. for the intact steering system in case of control transmission failure, amend para. 6.1.1. to specify that tests shall be conducted on a level surface affording good adhesion at ambient temperature between 0°C and 45°C, with provisions for deviating conditions at manufacturer request with Technical Service agreement, and insert new para. 6.2.5.1.1. to permit vehicle manufacturers to request at least 10 “figure of eight” manoeuvres with 40 m diameter loops at 10 km/h speed prior to measurement of steering efforts with steering equipment failure.
Proposal to amend GRVA/2026/14 and GRVA/2026/18: insert new paragraph 2.28.1. defining “Highway-like road” as a non-highway section with at least two lanes, designated speed limit of at least 80 km/h, no prohibition of pedestrians and cyclists, physical separation dividing opposite traffic, and no at-grade marked pedestrian crossings, rail crossings, or road intersections; amend paragraphs 5.3.7.2.3.1. and 5.5.4.2.6.5. to address highway-like road operation and withholding of HORs; insert new paragraph 4.2.5.2.16. to Annex 4. specifying testing for longitudinally moving bicycle targets; amend Annex 1. to add items 6.4. and 6.4.1. regarding withholding of HORs; and insert new paragraph 16.2.3. establishing that as from 1 September 2029 Contracting Parties shall not be obliged to accept type approvals issued to the preceding series of amendments for systems capable of withholding HORs on highway-like roads.
Proposal to revise the terms of reference and rules of procedures for the Informal Working Group on Advanced Emergency Braking Systems. The IWG shall review current regulatory actions and data on Automated Emergency Braking Systems and provide recommendations on future regulatory actions including revisions to UN Regulation No. 152. The IWG shall examine current AEBS regulations worldwide, assess accident situations for passenger vehicles, draft state-of-the-art performance requirements for collision scenarios involving pedestrians at night, investigate regulatory improvements to performance requirements, and investigate feasibility to include updated requirements to avoid false activation of AEBS for light vehicles. The IWG shall deliver complete regulatory text for AEBS for passenger vehicle requirements as revision of UN Regulation No. 152 for the September 2028 session of GRVA at the latest.
