  • Add abbreviations and definitions including “Category M1 vehicle”, “Mass in running order”, “Service brake”, “Brake calliper”, “User-selectable mode”, “ADS user”, and “Vehicle user”
  • Amend the reference method to require testing on WLTP-Brake cycle using UN R154 compliant chassis dynamometer with external sensors for brake torque
