This document lists the decisions taken during the GRVA session in Montreal. These decisions will be formally considered and likely adopted during a session on 23 June in Geneva.

The document requests guidance on the legal basis for provisions within UN Regulations extending beyond the End-of-Production date and which authority such provisions address. Examples include UN R171 requirements for manufacturers to demonstrate safety management systems to the Type Approval Authority every three years and report annually on Driven Coded Auxiliary System operation until production is discontinued, and UN R155 requirements for Cyber Security Management Systems to apply to the post-production phase when vehicles remain operational but are no longer produced. The document poses an additional question regarding vehicle safety when manufacturers cease operations and cannot fulfill post-deployment safety provisions.

The AEBS IWG held its initial meeting virtually on 22 April with about 50 attendees. Co-Chairs are Germany and Japan; Co-Secretaries are CLEPA and SAE. The IWG is requesting minor changes to its Terms of Reference. A schedule of meetings is planned from September 2026 through September 2028, including informal meetings for input from contracting parties and industry, discussion of requirements for speed reduction in nominal conditions, and investigation of false positives, with a draft regulation document planned for January 2028 and formal submission planned for September 2028.

Proposal to amend WP.29/2026/139 to amend para. 4.2.2.3.8.1. subparagraph (b) regarding user engagement to resume the DDT, insert new para. 5.2.1.8.1. requiring manufacturers to document simulation toolchain scope and limitations, amend para. 5.2.1.3.1. regarding manufacturer management of relevant data, amend para. 5.3.1.16. describing ADS responses to failure situations, amend para. 6.3.2.2.3. regarding scenario assessment, amend para. 6.3.3.3.1. regarding confirmatory track testing provisions, amend Annex 5 Tables 3, 4, and 5 regarding scenario specifications and risk manoeuvre conditions, and amend Annex 6 para. 5.3.1. and 5.3.2. regarding DSSAD recording requirements and intervals.

Proposal to amend ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2026/137 to replace placeholder text “[ADS]”, “[XXX]”, and “[number of this Regulation]” with the UN Regulation number upon adoption, amend the cross-reference in paragraph 1.2. to “7.2.3.17.”, amend paragraph 6.2.2.3.8.1. subparagraph (b) to specify gaze directed to “the” driving task relevant area, remove brackets around “7.4.” in paragraph 11.2., add a period after the number in Annex 1 paragraph 5.1., amend Annex 1 Appendix 1 paragraphs 1.4.5. and 1.4.7., renumber paragraphs 1.4.12., 1.4.12.1., and 1.4.12.2. as 1.4.11.5., 1.4.11.5.1., and 1.4.11.5.2., amend Annex 1 Appendix 2, amend Annex 7 table 5 rows 1 and 2 column 7, remove brackets in Annex 8 paragraphs 5.3.1. and 5.3.2., and insert “Mandatory” in Annex 8 table row 1 column 2.

Supporting presentation on the proposal to insert a new sub-paragraph 5.6.1.1.4.1 to exempt ACSF Category A functions intended solely to support low-speed vehicle controllability manoeuvres in off-road environments from the obstacle detection requirements of paragraph 5.6.1.1.4, provided the function operates only until 5 km/h with 1 km/h tolerance, is activated deliberately by the driver in off-road environments only, requires the driver to be in the driver’s seat with safety belt fastened, and allows the driver to retain control and override or deactivate the system at any time.

The Informal Working Group on Cyber Security and Software Updates discussed amendments to UN R155 and UN R156 for multi-stage approval, including simplified handling for low-risk devices and clarification of intrinsic cyber risk assessment. The group reviewed proposals from GRVA-25-31 and GRVA-25-32 concerning continued validity of approvals and Certificate of Compliance issuance. A Sub-Working Group was established to develop component and separate technical unit approval concepts. Pending discussion include RXSWIN application to components, STUs, and the extent of application to UN R155 and UN R156, and type-approval numbering for software updates.

Proposal to remove para. 5.2.1.2. titled “Emergency braking” and delete the corresponding justification text “Update to paragraph 5.2.1.2.” At the January 2026 GRVA, it was agreed not to proceed with an amendment proposed to para. 5.2.1.2. The current proposal GRVA/2026/21 does not reflect the discussions from the previous session of GRVA.

Proposal to develop UN GTR for both assisted and automated parking. The document presents parking product classifications in China, including assisted parking (park-in/park-out, cruising capability, remote-control variants) and automated parking systems. Current UN Regulations lack specific technical requirements, test methods, and test scenarios for parking functions. China is developing national standards GB for parking combined driver assistance systems and automated parking systems, with approval expected by end of 2026 and early 2027 respectively. The proposal suggests establishing a Task Force to study applicability of current UN Regulations to parking products, then determining whether to establish an IWG or formulate new regulations.

Proposal to amend para. 5.3.3.2. to correct a referencing error by replacing the reference to para. 5.1.4. with a reference to para. 5.3.1.1., which directly relates to mechanical parts of the steering transmission, thereby removing possible uncertainty or the need to liaise with the designated technical service or approval authority to confirm interpretation of the current text.

OICA-CLEPA-EME comments on German proposal GRVA-25-07 to require the approval authority granting UN R155 or UN R156 type approvals to use CSMS or SUMS certificates signed by the same approval authority. OICA-CLEPA-EME identify that CSMS and SUMS are Management Systems covering entire manufacturer organizations, and mandating the same approval authority for Management Systems certificates and approvals will have significant consequences for original equipment manufacturers typically using multiple approval authorities in homologation. The submission proposes keeping text unchanged to allow different approval authorities for Management Systems certificates and type approval based on voluntary acceptance, implementing wording on information exchange if different approval authorities are involved, and establishing a horizontal approach for Management Systems with mutual recognition aspects considered.

In January 2022, an M₁ passenger vehicle with a detached tyre caused its Anti-lock Braking System to activate, preventing effective braking and resulting in collision with a stationary lorry. The coroner concluded the ABS functioned as intended but created an unsafe scenario by using the fastest rotating wheel as reference speed, and recommended changes to prevent future deaths. The UK proposal to amend UN R13-H would require manufacturers to affirm that strategies to achieve system objectives will not prejudice safe operation of systems under non-fault conditions, including failures of other systems involved in achieving system function such as tyres or wheels, and that documentation be supported by analysis showing how the system will behave upon any fault with bearing on vehicle control, performance, or safety, including faults with other systems involved in achieving system function.

Proposal to amend para. 3.5.1. of Annex 4 to require the manufacturer to demonstrate to the approval authority that effective processes, methodologies and tools are in place, up to date and being followed within the organization to manage the safety and continued compliance throughout the product lifecycle, and to demonstrate to the approval authority at least every three years that the safety management system continues to comply with these requirements.

Proposal to delete paragraph 1.2.6. excluding e-axle trailers with e-axles providing electric propulsion and/or incorporating an electric regenerative braking system from the scope of UN R13, and add definitions of “e-axle,” “e-axle trailer,” “dynamo function,” and “e-trailer”; add special requirements for power-driven vehicles supporting e-trailer operation, e-axle trailers equipped with dynamo function, and e-trailers of category O; add requirements for electric control lines conforming to ISO 11992-2:²⁰²⁷; specify message support and functional compatibility; and add provisions for electric regenerative braking, dynamo function, and propulsion, including parameters such as retarder torque demand priority, propulsion force limits, overriding mode activation at speeds below 15km/h, and vehicle stability function interaction.

Proposal to delete the draft “Reserved” paragraph 5.3.7.2.4.3. in GRVA/2026/18. Reserving paragraph 5.3.7.2.4.3. in the 01 series would mean that the subsequent paragraphs would be out of line with the numbering in the 02 series, making future amendments to UN R171 unnecessarily challenging.

Proposal to amend the original version (GRVA/2026/15), insert para. 5.3.7.2.1.13. to require the manufacturer to describe in the safety concept the system behaviour in case the driver is detected to be disengaged during a manoeuvre; amend the original version and the 01 series (GRVA/2026/15 and GRVA/2026/17), amend para. 3.5.1. of Annex 3 to require the manufacturer to demonstrate to the Type Approval Authority at least every three years that the safety management system continues to comply with requirements; amend the 01 and 02 series (GRVA/2026/17 and WP.29/2026/86), amend para. 2.3.2. of Appendix 2 of Annex 3; amend the 02 series (WP.29/2026/86), amend para. 4.2.5.2.19.2.1. of Annex 4; and amend the original version, 01 series and 02 series (GRVA/2026/15, GRVA/2026/17 and WP.29/2026/86), amend para. 4.2.5.2.14.1.2. of Annex 4 and para. 4.2.5.2.14.2.1. of Annex 4.

Presentation on electrically propelled and recuperating trailers. The document outlines communication flows between towing vehicles and e-trailers using ISO 11992-2 over ISO 7638-1, involving parameter groups EBS14 (control), EBS28 (energy/state of charge), and EBS29 (status). Key principles include the towing vehicle setting control modes and requesting torque, with trailers reporting capabilities. The document discusses support for maximum three e-axle equipped trailers due to bandwidth limitations, enabling of e-trailer control via CANopen Service Data Objects, and backward compatibility with ISO 11992-2:2014. Amendments to UN Regulation 13 are planned with target entry into force in May 2028.

The ADS informal working group status report to GRVA documents progress since the 24th GRVA session in January 2026. The group accepted proposals to make minor amendments to GTR and UNR, and accepted proposals to amend GTR and UNR to introduce DSSAD provisions. Working documents WP.29/2026/139 (GTR) and WP.29/2026/137 (UNR) were submitted for WP.29’s 199th session. For the 25th GRVA session, GRVA-25-21 and GRVA-25-22 were submitted as informal documents to amend WP.29/2026/137 and WP.29/2026/139. GRVA seeks a 3-year extension of the IWG-ADS mandate, with revised Terms of Reference to be prepared for GRVA-26 in September 2026.

Task Force FADS status report to GRVA presents final fitness information for GRVA Regulations relevant for automated vehicles. R157 (ALKS), R171 (DCAS), R178 (ELKS), R13, R13-H, R79, R89, R90, R130, R131, R139, R140, and R152 have been amended or are receiving amendments to clarify interactions with ADS features or account for vehicles of categories X and Y. R175, GTR3, and GTR8 require no amendments or formal amendment sponsorship. GRVA proposals for 13 working documents are expected at the 199th WP.29 session in June 2026, including WP.29/2026/85, WP.29/2026/86, WP.29/2026/87, WP.29/2026/79, WP.29/2026/80, WP.29/2026/81, WP.29/2026/82, WP.29/2026/83, WP.29/2026/168, and WP.29/2026/84. Task Force FADS mandate will conclude at the end of June 2026.

The IWG on EDR/DSSAD, chaired by the USA, the Netherlands, and Japan, develops proposals for Event Data Recorders and for Data Storage Systems for Automated Driving per ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2019/34. Completed work includes EDR requirements under UN R160 and amendments, EDR for heavy-duty vehicles under UN R169, and DSSAD requirements under UN R157.

Friday 22 May will cover revision 3 to the 1958 Agreement and other business.

GRVA-25 agenda includes adoption of agenda; briefing on WP.29 March 2026 session highlights; resumption of Artificial Intelligence discussions; review of draft UN Global Technical Regulation and draft UN Regulation on Automated Driving Systems; resumption of UN Regulation No. 157 considerations regarding market introduction notification and remedial action upload to DETA database; consideration of Information Sharing for Scenario-Based Assessment informal working group proposal; briefing on cyber security and over-the-air issues; resumption of Driver-Control Assistance Systems, steering equipment, and Advanced Emergency Braking and Blind Spot Information Systems considerations; review of Electronic Stability Control and Electrical Transmission Braking Systems proposals; resumption of e-trailer approval amendments to UN Regulation No. 13; consideration of motorcycle braking and replacement braking parts proposals; briefing on national activities; status report on International Whole Vehicle Type Approval revision activities; resumption of connected and automated vehicles sustainability discussions; and adoption of proposed decisions list.

AC.1 adopted all amendments proposals to UN Regulations submitted by GRVA. AC.2 supported a swap between the GRVA session in October 2026 and the WP.1 session in September 2026 and discussed possibilities to change working methods. AC.3 welcomed progress on development of a new UN GTR and a new UN Regulation on ADS and noted the status report on ACPE activities. WP.29/1188 contains further details.

Proposal to amend para. 5.6.1.2.7. to increase the maximum RCP operating range from 6 m to 15 m. UN R79 currently limits the maximum RCP operating range to 6 m, resulting in effective usable range of 2 or 3 m due to radio wave-based ranging inaccuracy. A 15-meter range would enhance RCP function usefulness and safety, reducing driver movement and blind areas. RCP systems with extended ranges have been used in large markets without identified safety threats. The amendment is proposed as a supplement to the 03 and 04 series of amendments to UN R79.

Proposal to establish an informal working group on Exchange of scenario-relevant information (ESRI) as a subsidiary body of GRVA to develop procedures facilitating the sharing of DDT-relevant building blocks and knowledge from performance analyses and incident investigations, to structure such information to support scenario development and use, to propose means for managing and publicly sharing information in accordance with WP.29 procedures, and to provide recommendations for application and management, with outcomes to be presented within two years from approval to form the IWG by GRVA.

The workshop on scenarios discussed scenario-related information-sharing procedures and exchange, including to facilitate implementation of regulations using scenario-based assessments, develop administrative procedures to gather scenario-related information from CPs and NGOs, identify useful information to share, and clarify scenario use needs. At the same time, the workshop explicitly excluded activities such as creating a scenario catalogue and/or database, developing regulatory scenarios, and developing methodologies to create and derive scenarios for regulatory purposes. The group discussed whether scenarios work should operate as a dedicated working group under GRVA or as part of an existing group, considering resource constraints and the importance of supporting WP.29 activities like ADS and ADAS regulations.

The AI IWG held four meetings between January and April 2026, with future meetings scheduled for June 2026. Co-Chairs are from the UK, Japan, and the U.S.; Co-Secretaries represent IEEE, CITA, and SAE. WP.29 approved an updated Terms of Reference in March 2026. The IWG has compiled literature on regulated automotive safety systems using AI (AI-08-03), created draft documents on Terms & Definitions (AI-06-03), use cases (AI-07-03), and guiding questions (AI-08-07). An initial consolidated draft document (AI-09-06) addresses what AI is and how it is used in the automotive sector, what benefits and risks it presents, and emergent practices for AI use and risk management. Initial outputs will be reported to WP.29 at the June 2026 meeting.

The Task Force on Vehicular Communications held a hybrid meeting on 23 January 2026, with presentations from Japan, CAICT China, and Car-to-Car Communications Consortium covering communications approaches to improve protection of vulnerable road users. The 14th VCTF meeting is scheduled for Wednesday 11 June 13:00–16:00 CET to discuss tests and ideas for improving VRU protection through communications. The Future Networked Car Symposium will be held in hybrid format on 9 July 2026 at Palexpo Geneva, jointly organised by UNECE and ITU, with the WP.29 related session in the morning of Thursday 9 July.

Since the 24th session of GRVA, the Workshops on Automated Driving Systems held four sessions, with meetings in Shanghai and Bangkok. Administrative requirements for the draft UNR/GTR ADS require no further discussion. Task 3 developed interpretations and guidance for implementation, consolidated in a draft Guidance and Interpretation Document presented as informal document GRVA-25-20, with remaining items for refinement at a July Brussels hybrid joint IWG/WS session. The GID will be made available in English, French, and Russian, with the IWG ADS maintaining it. Formal adoption is projected for November WP.29 following September GRVA discussion.

This Guidance and Interpretation Document (GID), based on GRVA/2026/3 as amended by GRVA-24-29 and WP.29-198-09, supports implementation of proposed UN Global Technical Regulation and UN Regulation on Automated Driving Systems. The GID, structured in table format with regulatory text and explanatory guidance with examples, facilitates interpretation of ADS requirements when applying them to particular vehicles or vehicle types. The document addresses ADS safety, system descriptions, operational design domains, performance in nominal, critical, and failure situations, interactions between ADS and users, manufacturer safety management systems, test environments including simulation credibility frameworks, safety cases, post-deployment safety monitoring, and compliance assessments including confirmatory testing. Materials will be restructured and refined for submission to GRVA’s September 2026 session.

Regulation drafting has started. Next activities include continuation of discussion on requirements, addressing net power and electric consumption determination, family and parent definition, and provisions for PTI, with regulation draft for EV retrofit to be delivered as informal document to the next GRPE session in October.

Proposal to amend para. 137 to describe the seventeenth workshop organized in Bangkok, Thailand, together with the twentieth session of the IWG on ADS, where participants reviewed updates to the GID document sections prepared by the OPIs, resulting in a revised version of the GID document considered mature enough for presentation at the twenty-fifth GRVA session, with agreement that remaining open items should be finalized at the July 2026 workshop in Brussels, Belgium, and several minor amendments to the draft GTR/UN-R text derived from the Bangkok meeting discussions modified the text of the draft GTR/UN-R.

Proposal to amend Annex 8, para. 3.4.1. to require the vehicle manufacturer to supplement its statement with an explanation of how the chosen strategy ensures system objectives do not prejudice safe operation of systems referred to and a description of the validation plan, and to require the designated technical service to perform an assessment of the manufacturer’s explanation and validation plan suitability and may perform or require tests as specified in para. 4., and amend Annex 8, para. 3.4.4. to require documentation supported by analysis showing system behaviour on fault occurrence including faults with other systems involved in achieving system function, to establish and maintain analytical approaches open for inspection by the designated technical service at type approval, and to require the designated technical service to perform assessment including inspection of safety approach at concept and system levels and validation plans and results.

The document addresses on-board authentication and authorization in connected vehicles, a complex area involving multiple stakeholders, use cases, implementations, and standards. The core challenge is distinguishing legitimate remote interactions from misuse, manipulation, and integrity loss. Discussions have occurred since 2023 across GRVA, CS/OTA, and WP.29. FIA seeks feedback on establishing the topic and will develop a scoping document and demonstrator based on select use cases including accident investigation, law enforcement, emergency response, energy monitoring, battery tracking, parts replacement, and ITS-related safety. Contracting parties are invited to submit comments and use cases by 15 June 2026 for consideration at the November WP.29 session.

Proposal to insert new sub-paragraph 5.6.1.1.4.1 establishing that requirements of paragraph 5.6.1.1.4 shall not apply to ACSF Category A functions provided they are intended solely to support low-speed vehicle controllability manoeuvres in off-road environments, operate only until 5km/h with 1km/h tolerance, require deliberate driver activation, require driver presence in driver’s seat with fastened safety belt, and allow driver to retain control and override or deactivate the system at any time.

Proposal to amend para. 2.8 of Annex 8 to add subparagraph (c). The amendment addresses trailers utilizing service braking system energy reserves for automatic brake requirements. Current para. 2.8 includes options (a) and (b) requiring spring brake pressure reduction or corresponding pressure reduction in spring compression chamber. New subparagraph (c) permits alternative designs where combined service braking and parking braking system activation holds a laden trailer on 18 percent gradients at any service brake energy reservoir pressure from 850 kPa to 0 kPa, providing greater realization flexibility while maintaining required holding performance.

Proposal to amend para. 2.8 of Annex 8 to UN R13 to require trailers utilizing service braking system energy reserves to fulfil one of three requirements when uncoupled and park brake control released: pressure in spring brake compression chamber shall reduce to 0 kPa when energy reserves reduce to 280 kPa, pressure reduction in service braking system energy reserve results in corresponding reduction in spring compression chamber pressure, or combined service and parking braking forces shall hold laden trailer as required when service brake energy reservoir reduces from 850 kPa to 0 kPa.

Based on GRVA-25-08, the document addresses blind spot accidents involving right-turning trucks and bicycles. It distinguishes between warning systems requiring driver reaction time and automatic brake intervention systems. The document notes that information systems with low intensity have low annoyance and low risk of deactivation, while high-intensity warnings risk driver annoyance and deactivation. It describes a specific scenario at approximately 15 km/h where a truck brakes after a turn has started with a bicycle detected at high confidence. The document indicates that next steps in safety regarding blind spot accidents should involve automatic brake intervention and suggests future discussion of UN R151 in GRVA.

Since the 24th (January 2026) GRVA session, the ADAS task force held an online session on 3 March 2026. A 02 series of amendments to UN R171 (GRVA-24-17/Rev.2) was approved and submitted to WP.29 as WP.29/2026/86. Draft supplements and consolidated and extracted versions for 00 and 01 series were prepared (GRVA-24-18-A, GRVA-24-19-A, GRVA-24-18-B, GRVA-24-19-B). For the 25th GRVA session, editorial modifications and consolidated and extracted versions were submitted (GRVA/2026/14, GRVA/2026/15, GRVA/2026/16, GRVA/2026/17, GRVA/2026/18).
