Excerpts from session reports related to this document
GRVA | Session 17 | 25-29 Sep 2023

85. The representative of OICA presented a revised proposal for amendments to UN Regulation No. 79 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRVA/2023/21) with clarifications for the Automatically Commanded Steering Function of Category A for vehicles towing a trailer, prepared by the representatives of the European Association of Automotive Suppliers (CLEPA) and the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) and based on informal document GRVA-16-08. He reminded GRVA of the comments provided at the previous session. Several delegations advocated for further provisions covering overhanging cargo, which could be addressed technically. Other felt that the problem mentioned could be addressed with in use prescriptions or with training.

86. The secretariat presented two proposals on behalf of the representative of Australia (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRVA/2023/26 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRVA/2023/27), with his written authorization, as he could not join to session due to unforeseen circumstances. GRVA recalled that the two proposals as well as the related proposal under item 7(b) had been already introduced by Australia at the May 2023 session of GRVA. The representative of OICA mentioned that the issue at stake was the cross reference to lane markings described in the Annex of that regulation. He added that only light vehicles (M1) were at stake, while UN Regulation No. 130 (LDWS) only touched on heavy vehicles. He doubted that the amended provisions in para. 5.6.2.2.3 were necessary. He concluded that, in general, the proposals could be adopted as a short-term solution. GRVA adopted the two proposals and requested the secretariat to submit them as draft Supplement 10 to the 03 series of amendments and Supplement 5 to the 04 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 79 to WP.29 and the Administrative Committee of the 1958 Agreement (AC.1) for consideration and vote at their March 2024 sessions.
