47. The expert from IMMA introduced GRSP-66-20 to explain the three-step approach for harmonization of (passive) safety requirements of bodied, heavy quadricycles (L7). He added that the L7 category of vehicles was too broad and suggested that a clear definition be established in the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3). He explained that some L7 category of vehicles are very “car-like” in that they are equipped with a body and certain car features. He stated that his organization supports the proposal to include bodied heavy passenger L7-category vehicles into UN Regulation No. 137. However, he asked that as a first step, the existing, applicable legislation for bodied L7 vehicles be harmonized worldwide (e.g. India, Republic of Korea, EU) to clarify key differences in the M1 category of vehicles. Finally, GRSP agreed to resume discussion on this subject at its May 2020 session. |
