81. The expert from France introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRVA/2022/14 as amended by GRVA-13-39, aimed to require the fitment of four axles commercial vehicles over 25 tons with vehicle stability function. The expert from OICA introduced GRVA-13-23 containing an alternative proposal addressing the concern raised by the expert from France and based on their statistical review of the configuration of four axle vehicles. He presented GRVA-13-20 containing elements justifying their alternative proposal.
82. GRVA agreed to keep GRVA-13-23 and GRVA-13-39 on the agenda for the session in September 2022.

102. The expert from CLCCR introduced GRVA-14-13, aimed at allowing the type approval of braking systems for trailers equipped with an electric regenerative braking system and/or a propulsion system in its axle. These new axles in trailers have the potential to convert the kinetic energy of an axle to supply electric systems (e.g. cooling units for reefer) as well as to support the motor vehicle (e.g. the tractor) during start-stop manoeuvres, during accelerating/braking. This leads to lower fuel consumption of the motor vehicle respectively cooling units (ergo lower CO2 emissions). The expert from CLEPA supported the proposal. The expert from OICA welcomed the innovation proposed by CLCCR, but could not support the amendment proposal, as drafted.
103. GRVA invited industry to work together on this item and requested the secretariat to distribute GRVA-14-13 with an official symbol at the next GRVA session.

106. The expert from IMMA presented ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRVA/2022/26, introducing provisions for the type approval of automatically commanded braking systems. The experts from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland supported the proposal. The expert from Canada noted that automatically commanded braking systems might surprise riders and might have unintended consequences. He inquired whether the safety of these systems would be covered elsewhere. The expert from IMMA explained that the safety requirements were included in the proposal in GRVA-14-09.
107. The expert from the Netherlands introduced GRVA-14-09, prepared together with the expert from IMMA. He explained that the proposal was aimed at introducing a complex electronic annex on the model of the one in other braking regulations.
108. The expert from Canada noted that such annex was based on audit requirements, without pass/fail requirements. The expert from IMMA acknowledged that a discussion under the 1998 Agreement would require measurable pass/fail criteria.
109. The expert from France and from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland supported the aim of the proposal.
110. GRVA adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRVA/2022/26 and requested the secretariat to submit it as a supplement to the 05 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 78 to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their March 2023 sessions.
111. GRVA requested the secretariat to distribute GRVA-14-09 with an official symbol at the next GRVA session. The expert from IMMA confirmed, upon request by the secretariat, that it was a proposal for a new 06 series of amendments.

UN R79: Proposal for amendments to the 03 and 04 series of amendments
(OICA)
Description
|
Proposal to clarify the logical cascade of actions relative to ACSF B1 and ACSF C systems:
When the same means is used by the driver to simultaneously activate the Automatically Commanded Steering Function of Category B1 (ACSF B1) and of category C (ACSF C), both functions switch to standby mode when the vehicle enters an ACSF C eligible road. But if the road is non-eligible to ACSF C, then only the ACSF B1 is activated.
With the current text of the regulation, once the vehicle moves to an ACSF C eligible road, the driver must operate again the means to activate the ACSF C. This second deliberate action is confusing for the driver since it makes the manipulation more complex. The current wording actually discourages most drivers from using this assistance function.
The proposed wording permits the following, logical, cascade of actions: - The driver has done a deliberate action to activate ACSF B1 and ACSF C (on a non-eligible road); then
- He drives into an eligible road, and is clearly informed thereof; then
- He initiates a lane change procedure by activating e.g. the direction indicator.
