Information on the regulation of category L7 micro four-wheeled vehicles.

51. The expert from Korea introduced GRSP-65-23, explaining the Korean safety regulations on micromobility. He explained that the safety regulations were based on requirements of L₇ category vehicle from regulation 168/2013 of the European Union and opinions from manufacturers. He added that this kind of vehicle should be considered as a new category of vehicles and not as a motorcycle category. He further explained four major categories in passive safety for this vehicle: (a) door latch and hinge, (b) strength of safety-belt anchorages, (c) seat anchorages and (d) test of electrical safety of high-voltage system through crash tests. He concluded that a test plan would cover in the future all the main collision configurations with the aim of introducing proper injury criterion for micromobility in KNCAP.

Proposal for amendments to align the regulation with GTR 20.

Proposal for a new UN Regulation for the type approval of M₁ vehicles with a total permissible mass not exceeding 3,500 kg and of N₁ with regard to fuel integrity and safety of high voltage systems in case of a rear-end collision. This proposal aligns rear impact (UN R34) and electric vehicle safety (UN R100) requirements with the new EU General Safety Regulation and with GTR 20 on electric vehicle safety.

Part 1: OICA replies to NHTSA‘s question
Part 2: OICA’s proposal for low energy content in Y-capacitances for in-use (i.e. active driving mode) and post-crash situations

OICA proposes that:

1. The EVS informal group reconsider the validity (especially, effectiveness and practicability) of REESS overcurrent test adopted in GTR 20 Phase 1, and
2. Each Contracting Party suspend adoption of this test for its national/regional regulations, until above (1) is concluded.

Japan’s position on the alignment of UN R137 with GTR 20 on electric vehicle safety.

Proposal to amend the requirements concerning post-crash electrical safety in the event of frontal collision. The proposal aligns post-crash electrical safety requirements with GTR 20 and aligns administrative provisions with Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement. The amendments would not affect approvals for vehicles without high-voltage electric power trains.

Proposal to amend the requirements concerning post-crash electrical safety in the event of lateral collision. The proposal aligns post-crash electrical safety requirements with GTR 20 and aligns administrative provisions with Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement. The amendments would not affect approvals for vehicles without high-voltage electric power trains.

Proposal to transpose the electrical safety requirements of GTR 20 into UN R100 and align administrative provisions with Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement. The proposal provides for a 2-3 year transitional period. The proposal also integrates the amendments to UN R100 provided in document GRSP/2019/17.

Consolidated revision of UN R100 incorporating the proposal to transpose the electrical safety requirements of GTR 20 into UN R100 and align administrative provisions with Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement. The proposal provides for a 2-3 year transitional period. The proposal also integrates the amendments to UN R100 provided in document GRSP/2019/17.
