25. The expert from the American Automotive Policy Council (AAPC) briefly introduced GRBP-77-23 and requested that time be allocated for discussion at the next session. He pointed out that several Middle Eastern countries outside the 1958 Agreement implement national and regional requirements based on UN Regulation No. 117. In the region, specialized pickup trucks are used in oil fields, mining, agriculture, forestry and other rough terrains for heavy tasks. According to the expert, for safety and durability reasons, these vehicles require suitable tyres where the vehicle mass and tyre combinations do not permit compliance with the rolling resistance limits of UN Regulation No. 117. GRBP invited GRBP experts to provide feedback and agreed to address this issue in detail at the next session. |
