Agenda Item 17.9.
Draft GTR on Quiet Road Transport Vehicles (QRTV)

120. The representative of the United States of America informed AC.3 that, pending the publication of a new USA Federal Standard on this issue, which was expected in the fall of 2015, the IWG on QRTV had not met. He added that, at the next session of WP.29 in June 2015, the World Forum might be requested to extend the mandate of this IWG that would expire in November 2015. The Chair of GRB recalled that GRB had established another IWG to draft a UN Regulation on QRTV under the 1958 Agreement. He informed the World Forum that IWG on QRTV Regulation was making good progress and that its next meeting was scheduled for May 2015 in the Republic of Korea. WP.29 noted that the draft UN GTR on QRTV would have to take into account both the draft QRTV Regulation under the 1958 Agreement and the new USA Federal Standard.
