Terms of reference and rules of procedure for the Task Force on Lamps Under Parked Conditions (TF-LUPC). TF-LUPC shall review the requirements of the current suite of lamps under parked conditions and develop proposals within the framework of UN R48 pertaining to Energy Indicator and Lamp test mode. The task force is open to all GRE participants. Two Co-Chairs (Japan/Netherlands) and a Secretary (OICA) shall manage it. Decisions shall be reached by consensus. STEP 2 aims to present an informal document at GRE’s ninety-fifth session in October 2026 and a formal document at the ninety-sixth session in April 2027 for submission to WP.29 as part of the 10 series of amendments.
Proposal to insert new clauses to section 8 of the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3) to add provisions 8.40.1. through 8.40.9. establishing requirements for:
Proposal to:
Proposal to amend GRVA/2026/34 proposing to amend para. 5.6.1.2.7. to modify the specified maximum RCP operating range from 6 m to 10 m, with provision to extend to a maximum of 15 m if direct line of sight between the remote-control device and the vehicle is ensured. The justification notes that RCP systems with extended ranges are already offered in large markets without regulatory limits, that radio wave-based ranging requires safety margins reducing effective usable range, and that increased range would reduce blind areas behind vehicles and allow drivers to better monitor surroundings while manoeuvring, reducing risks and increasing overall safety.
Proposal to amend Annex 8, paragraph 2.8. to establish performance-based requirements ensuring continuous trailer immobilisation during service brake pressure depletion. The amendment requires that when a trailer is uncoupled and the park brake control is released, braking forces from combined service and parking braking systems shall hold the laden trailer at any time when service brake energy reservoir reduces from 850 kPa to 0 kPa, and that adequate overlap between service brake and spring brake functions be ensured so no loss of holding capability occurs during pressure depletion.
Consolidated revision of the working document on guidance and interpretation document for GTR 26 and UN R185 on Automated Driving Systems (GRVA/2026/24). The document facilitates interpretation of ADS requirements when applied to particular ADS vehicles, provides guidance on evidence for requirements, and helps harmonize application across manufacturers and authorities. It addresses definitions, application for approval, approval procedures, ADS performance of the Dynamic Driving Task in nominal, critical, and failure situations, interactions between ADS and users, safety management systems, test environments, safety cases, and post-deployment safety monitoring.
This document presents updated recommendations for glare reduction based on TFGP-08-06. Recommendations are categorized as effective, mid-level, less effective, or requiring no opinion, and address adaptive cut-off lines, motorway adaptive driving beam modes, dynamic adaptive low beam, headlamp installation heights, automatic high-beam switching, dynamic auto-levelling, headlamp cleaning device requirements, in-vehicle driver reminders, luminous flux limits, periodic technical inspection clarifications, driver instructions for manual overrides, headlamp maintenance awareness, lane dividers, market surveillance, aiming differences investigation, and alignment degradation remedies.
Proposal to introduce a unified Position Code (X-Y) for all seating positions, add seven new mandatory data elements for driver operation and seat-track position to Annex 4 Table 1, and harmonize ADAS status enumerations into one unified set eliminating fragmented and inconsistent wording across system entries.
38. The Secretary reported on the highlights of the 160th and 161st sessions of WP.29 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1104 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1106).
