Proposal to amend the requirements concerning post-crash electrical safety in the event of frontal collision. The proposal aligns post-crash electrical safety requirements with GTR 20 and aligns administrative provisions with Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement. The amendments would not affect approvals for vehicles without high-voltage electric power trains.
