Minutes from the Task Force on Tyre Abrasion 53rd session held 29 October 2026. The session reviewed TADG status on drafting C1 and C2 provisions for GRBP Working Document 85th session and discussed amendment proposals to UN R186. TFTA agreed with TADG proposals including removal of special use tyres from AICT requirements, keeping drum abrasion level range as currently defined, and placing sandpaper surface replacement recommendation frequency in square brackets. TFTA also agreed with ETRTO proposals for C1 vehicle method amendments to paragraphs 1.6.2, 1.6.8, 1.6.9, 1.6.4.1, 1.7.4.1, and 7.4, and for C2 vehicle method amendments to paragraphs 1.9.2, 1.6.2, 1.10.4.2, 1.8.2.1, 1.8.2.2, and 1.6.4. GRPE endorsed the request to elevate TFTA to an IWG TA and address the request to WP.29 session 200 in November 2026.
Draft agenda for the fourth session of the Informal Working Group on Advanced Emergency Braking System, to be held 2–4 November 2026 in Tokyo. The meeting will address approval of the agenda and previous report, exchange of positions on requirements in principle, draft state-of-the-art performance requirements for collision scenarios involving pedestrians at night including test procedure and accidentology, nominal avoidance speed and current AEBS status, and conclusion for discussion of performance requirements.
Document presents Euro NCAP test methodology for passenger cars using increasing speeds up to 50 km/h for stationary vehicle targets with nominal and offset impacts, and up to 60 km/h for crossing pedestrian targets at 25% and 75% impact positions. Each test run generates individual scores with no requirement for specific avoidance speeds. Results indicate all tested cars avoided full overlap collisions up to 50 km/h relative speed over the last three years, and majority of recently tested vehicles should avoid crossing pedestrian accidents up to 60 km/h daytime and 50 km/h nighttime, though results are not directly transferable due to different testing methods.
