Proposal for amendments to the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3)
Document GRB-60-02
18 August 2014

In document GRSG/2014/25, the AVLI informal group proposed to add classes and definitions for agricultural vehicles to the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles. The proposal raised consistency issues for the EU with respect to vehicle definitions that will be introduced by Regulation (EU) 167/2013 in 2016. Therefore, the EU Commission services have developed two alternative proposals: one in full alignment with the definitions used in the EU regulation and one based on the AVLI group definitions with small changes to achieve consistency with the EU legislation.
