42. The expert from the Netherlands introduced a presentation (GRSP-66-40) on a proposal (GRSP-66-05), aimed to identify hydrogen-fuelled buses which would be consistent with already existing regulated identification for Liquid Petroleum Gas, Compressed Natural Gas and Liquid Natural Gas fuelled busses. GRSP agreed to defer discussion of this subject to its May 2020 session.

25. GRSP resumed consideration on a proposal (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2020/17) tabled by the expert from the Netherlands aimed at identifying hydrogen-fuelled buses which would be consistent with already existing regulated identification for Liquid Petroleum Gas, Compressed Natural Gas and Liquid Natural Gas fuelled buses.

GRSP agreed to resume discussion on this subject at its May 2021 session on the basis of a proposal tabled by the expert from OICA.
