GRE/2026/5
UN R149: Proposal for a Supplement to the 01 series of amendments

roposal to expand the application of glare-free Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB) for category L3 motorcycles under UN R149, by introducing additional driving beam classes aligned with UN R53 motorcycle requirements and adding symmetrical passing beam-based photometric requirements below the H-H line (Table 13, Part C). Recent technological advances have made ADB electronics more practical for a broader range of motorcycles, and these amendments aim to enhance traffic safety by reducing glare while maintaining adequate rider visibility.
