Draft proposal for an informal document to amend UN R169 to facilitate approvals of 8-12 ton vehicles derived from M1/N1 vehicles via compliance with provisions of UN R160.
This proposal allows for Separate Technical Units (STU) or Components approvals: The Industry may need a regulatory tool to approve STU or Components and vehicles equipped with STU or Components because the same technology can sometimes be fitted to various families or categories of vehicles or is largely independent of a vehicle. Such mechanism will help streamlining the approvals of vehicles and hence the introduction of safety technologies on the market.
