64. The expert from OICA presented, on behalf of the Chair of the IWG on Modular Vehicle Combinations (MVC), GRVA-05-43, introducing GRVA-05-03 with amendment proposal to UN Regulation No. 13, aimed at allowing the approval of Modular Vehicle Combination with regards to braking. He also presented ways forward for the IWG.
