3.1 Proposal for Class q and r (CUNA Couplings) (Doc. TFAC-03-04)

The slightly modified proposal was accepted. Modifications are indicated in red in document TFAC 03-04 Rev 1. The allocation tractor coupling/trailer coupling should be inserted in Annex 2.

There is a common agreement to reduce the number of different coupling devices at a later stage.

3.5 Review of present R 55.01 including Corr. 1 and Amend. 1–3 and the proposals for amendment and conclusions for these amendments (GRRF/2013/16, GRRF-75-21 and GRRF/2014/14)

The following results of TFAC are presently achieved:

• TFAC 02-13 (Basic document)
• TFAC 03-04 Rev. 1 (CUNA-Couplings, Class q and r)
• TFAC 03-08 Rev. 1 (Drawbar, Class i)
• TFAC 03-10 Rev. 1 (Class j to become a, Class k to become b, Towing brackets)
• TFAC 03-14 (Mounting height of coupling on the tractor)

Still open and further need for discussion concerns:

• TFAC 03-13 (Swedish proposals)
• TFAC 04-09 (Italian Proposal for Annex 5)
• TFAC 04-04 and TFAC … (Results of the small group)

Mr Schauer is asked to prepare a complete document with the agreed changes on the basis on R 55 until End of April (to become TFAC 04-11). Members of TFAC are invited to submit their comments four weeks after submission of that document.

It was agreed to present the results of TFAC to the IWG R 55 in the next meeting to be held in Poznan beginning of June by Mr Schauer and Mr Pagliarani.
