30. The representative of Germany presented, on behalf of the Co-Chairs of the TF on Automated Vehicle Categories (AVC), the status report (GRVA-20-18) of the Group, proposing two new subcategories X and Y. GRVA discussed the relevance of these definitions also for other TFs such as FADS and AVRS as well as the 6 km/h threshold proposed by the TF on AVC.
31. The representative of IMMA recalled that they considered it premature to include the Category L in the AVC deliberations. The representative of Germany recalled that the categories L6 and L7 included four-wheelers. The representative of France, Co-Chair of the TF on FADS explained that the Category L wasn’t the priority so far but also noted that an ecosystem of small quadricycles manufacturers not represented today at GRVA should not be neglected. GRVA encouraged the TFs on FADS and ACV to discuss IMMA’s position. GRVA invited IMMA to join the sessions of the two TFs.
