Proposal from CLEPA to introduce type-approval provisions for compressed natural gas (CNG) control functionality included in the engine control unit, and for control
functionality which is used in vehicles with start-stop system.

Discussion paper on passenger ejections and motor coach safety submitted by Hungary.

Revision 3, Amendment 3 of UN R107 deletes all references to Regulation No. 66 on the strength of the superstructure of buses and coaches. This proposal would delete a further reference not originally specified in Amendment 3.
