At the 74th GRRF session, CLCCR presented document GRRF-74-37 which noted that a design restriction in UN R79 prevents trailers from using energy from a towing vehicle. Following discussion, a number of delegates indicated their support for an amendment to remove this restriction and enable the use of new technologies.
