Document Title Comments on the proposed amendments to the 05 and 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 107
Reference Number GRSG-107-04
Date
2 Sep 2014
Summary In document GRSG/2014/22, the EC proposes to align Annex 11 of UN R107 with Regulation (EU) 1230/2012 (type approval of vehicles with regard to their masses and dimensions). However, the volume and location of masses – including baggage masses – impacts many basic parameters of buses like total mass in running order, axle loads, CG position, etc. and related UN Regulations. This document raises issues for consideration during the review of the EC proposal.
