Proposal to align the regulation with the full requirements for vehicles that meet “special social needs” under the regulatory framework of the European Union. In response to the extension of the scope of Euro VI legislation down to 2380 kg vehicles, this proposal would also add an exemption to take into account overlap between UN R83 and UN R101 with regard to light-duty vehicle CO₂ emissions and fuel/energy consumption. This proposal was adopted by the Working Party on Pollution and Energy (GRPE) at its 68th session based on document GRPE/2014/3, as amended by para. 25. of the session report and document GRPE/2014/7, not amended.

Proposal as adopted by the GRPE at its 68th session based upon an original proposal (subsequently amended) by the European Commission to align the requirements of Regulation No. 83 with those of European Union Regulation (EC) Nos. 715/2007, 692/2008, 566/2011, 459/2012 and 630/2012.

Amendment prepared by the secretariat to correct an omission in the proposal as submitted in document WP.29/2014/41 (consolidated 250+ page version of the regulation) and based upon GRPE/2014/2.

OICA raises a number of concerns over the direction of the AECS discussions including implications for all “connectivity” technologies. OICA stresses need for AECS to establish true harmonization through performance (rather than design) requirements and for mutual recognition under the 1958 Agreement as well as to maintain the focus on vehicles (as opposed to unwarranted digressions into broader infrastructure, telecommunications systems, bandwidth, etc.).
