This informal document GRSG-131-20 presents an artificial intelligence analysis of energy waste and CO2 generation by poorly insulated or uninsulated cars. The analysis compares cars with good roof insulation (metal roofs with 2-3 cm foam/felt) versus poor or no insulation (glass roofs or thin headliners) across 20,000 km annual driving. For gasoline cars, poor insulation wastes 70 L/year and generates 175 kg additional CO2. For electric vehicles, it wastes 200 kWh/year and generates 100 kg additional CO2. Across a weighted fleet, poor insulation costs $61 annually per car. Globally, approximately 600 million poorly insulated cars waste $36.6 billion annually and generate 91.2 million tons additional CO2 yearly.

Proposal to clarify that transparency requirements under UN R43 apply in both directions (exterior to interior and interior to exterior), addressing the growing use of privacy foils on windscreens and front side windows post-registration, which raises safety concerns regarding driver eye-contact, law enforcement visibility, and driving behaviour enforcement, consistent with the position expressed by GRSG at its 130th session.

Proposal to remove subjectivity and clarify manufacturer requirements for demonstrating equally effective triggering performance in vehicles with a maximum mass between 8,000 and 12,000 kg.

Proposal to align UN R43 with a proposed amendment to UN R125 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2026/23), which resolves a longstanding inconsistency between the lower datum point definition (§5.1.1.3) and the obstruction requirement (§5.1.3) by harmonizing the lower datum point angle from 5° to 4°.

Proposal to resolve a longstanding inconsistency in UN R125 between the lower datum point (§5.1.1.3, set at 5°) and the obstruction requirement (§5.1.3, set at 4°), by aligning the lower datum point to 4° while retaining upper and lateral aspects of §5.1.1. unchanged. The 5° datum point has never been used for any technical requirements beyond serving as a reference point, while the 4° obstruction requirement has prior precedent. As this is a vehicle rather than component requirement, the datum point is also proposed for deletion from UN R43, retaining it solely in UN R125.

Proposal to amend UN R167 to address Automated Driving Systems (ADS), exempting category Y vehicles and category X vehicles without a manual on-board mode from the regulation’s scope, while requiring ADS-equipped vehicles to comply when operated manually.
