Proposal to clarify provisions regarding the actuation of the parking brake warning device to cover the case of electric control transmission systems where there may be a transition between parked (applied) and un-parked (released) braking states.

Proposal from GRSG to establish a new UN Regulation providing provisions for devices to enhance the driver’s vision or awareness of vulnerable road users at the front and sides of the vehicle before the vehicle starts from standstill. Some requirements of this Regulation may be satisfied by devices complying with UN R46 on indirect vision.

Proposal from GRSG for a new UN Regulation to establish requirements for the approval of vehicles of categories M2, M3, N2 and N3 with regard to the driver’s direct vision to reduce blind spots to the greatest extent possible while considering the needs of the specific type of vehicle and its intended use(s).

Request to re-insert in Listing Number 11 – United States of America Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Transportation programmes for Light-duty vehicle greenhouse gas emission standards and Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards.

Request to maintain in the Compendium of Candidates Listing Number 12 – United States of America Environmental Protection Agency and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Department of Transportation Programmes for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards and Fuel Efficiency Standards for Medium and Heavy-Duty Engines and Vehicles.

Request to maintain in the Compendium of Candidates Listing Number 13 – United States of America Environmental Protection Agency and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Department of Transportation, Program for Revisions and Additions to the Motor Vehicle Fuel Economy Label – New Fuel Economy and Environment Labels for a New Generation of Vehicles.

Proposal from GRVA to correct an error in para. 2.3. Weight reduction solutions for brake discs must yield a higher (not lower) ratio between vehicle kinetic energy and mass of the disc braking surface than the reference disc.
