A new general safety regulation for vehicles of category Y is being drafted to collect relevant safety requirements. Vehicles of category Y with a maximum design speed not exceeding the impact speed specified in applicable frontal impact tests shall be exempted from frontal, lateral, and rear-end impact test procedures but must comply with applicable post-impact requirements concerning fuel leakage, hydrogen leakage, electrical safety, REESS electrolyte leakage, REESS retention, and fire or explosion hazards. The draft incorporates requirements from UN R94, UN R95, UN R137, and UN R153. Open issues include crash compatibility requirements for low-speed vehicles, applicability of partial tests, and defining front and rear structures for Y-category vehicles without occupants.
