OICA and CLEPA note that the current work on ACSF does not address class O vehicles (trailers) and therefore leaves unsettled the issue of heavy-duty commercial vehicles. The two groups signal that the informal group must coordinate with the GRRF to ensure that trailers are eventually incorporated in the ACSF approval procedures under UN R79.
(OICA): presented this document, which includes a proposal, how to deal with HCVs especially with trailers.
(CLEPA): supports this document.
(C-D): there are at the moment no ideas to cover this proposal. A presentation to GRRF makes only sense, if a principal solution is available. This should also be covered in the “new expected regulation”. Currently the trailers (Category O) is not part of the ToR.
(OICA): this document is only to make the delegates aware of the problem of vehicle combinations.
(D): currently a truck-trailer combinations can only be covered by CAT B+C. Rest would be covered by the new regulation.
(C-J): we should concentrate first on M and N. With the second step (new regulation) we should cover this.
(F): if the systems are not able to cover vehicles with trailers, we should forbid to have the system on, when towing a trailer. (limited to CAT D+E)
(UK): for trailers a communication interface should be developed.
(EC): stick to ToR.
