Proposal for a new GTR on in-use and post-crash safety of electric vehicles and rechargeable electric energy storage systems (REESS).

Proposal of an amendment to GTR 15 to:

1. clarify phase, cycle and vehicle class terminology to enable interpolation between different levels of downscaling, cycle classes and speed caps (resulting in modifications to WLTC cycle phases and time/speed tables),
2. improve the gear shifting procedures, including changes to gear selection and shift point determination for vehicles equipped with manual transmissions,
3. define the possible and permissible combinations of test vehicle selection and family requirements,
4. define the calculation of the average test mass during road load determination,
5. define single and double roller dynamometers, and
6. make editorial improvements.

Proposal to correct the scope of the GTR to align with Part A of the GTR, UN R43, and regional/national interpretations and to align the impact test procedure description with that of UN R43 and ISO 3537. The scope is amended to add “panes or as partitioning” while deleting the wording “use of double windows panes, each pane is considered a separate item of glazing panes”. The impact test procedure is clarified to define the point of impact with reference to the test piece (not the current “supported area”) and within 25 mm of its geometric centre and 50 mm of its centre.
