93. The representative of the United States of America introduced WP.29-157-19 containing the report of the first meeting of the informal working group on Electrical Vehicle Safety (EVS). He also introduced WP.29-157-20 containing the Terms of References (ToR) of EVS. AC.3 requested the secretariat to distribute both informal documents with an official symbol for formal adoption at the November 2012 session of AC.3. 94. Referring to the request for developing specific definitions for all the types of electric vehicles (see WP.29-157-19, para. 5 subpara. 2), the Chair of GRPE recalled the need to ensure consistency between the vehicle definitions in general (see ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1095, para. 101). The representative of the EU reiterated the need to also ensure the audibility of quiet road vehicles. It was clarified that, under agenda item 18.1 of the current agenda, a proposal to develop a UN GTR on Quiet Road Transport Vehicles would be considered (see para. 99 below). |
