This consolidated draft text proposes uniform provisions for approving vehicles transformed into electric vehicles (EV) or hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (HFCV) with electric powertrain retrofit systems. The regulation defines retrofit systems as all devices and components necessary to operate vehicles in electric mode, including powertrains, energy storage systems, management systems, and vehicle inlets. It specifies application procedures, marking and approval requirements, technical specifications for retrofit systems, installer qualifications and authorization, conformity of production procedures, modification and extension of approvals, and penalties for non-compliance. The regulation applies to vehicles of categories M and N and requires compliance with relevant UN Regulations including those addressing electromagnetic compatibility, braking, power measurement, and electric powertrains. Specific technical requirements address surveillance systems, anti-tampering provisions, performance parameters, dimensional and mass tolerances, and acoustic devices.
