32. The expert from WBIA introduced GRSG-128-21 and GRSG-128-22, proposing to insert in R.E.3, the definition of pedal-driven vehicle which is a vehicle of subcategory L1e-B according (EU) Regulation 168/2013. The expert from the Kingdom of the Netherlands disagreed with an amendment to RE.3 to introduce this category of vehicles. The expert from Japan argued that this category of vehicles was outside the mandate of WP.29 and should be dealt with at the national level. GRSG concluded that the pedaldriven vehicles were currently not within the scope of R.E.3, and therefore type approval cannot be granted to such vehicles under any of the UN Regulations annexed to the 1958 Agreement.
