Ingela Sundin and Anders Gunneriusson from STA welcome participants and open the meeting.
Anders Gunneriusson reminds the contexts of this informal group on MVC, which is a continuation of the group on ACV (Automated Coupling between Vehicles).
Terms of reference and rules of procedures of the ACV group are briefly reminded.
Anders Gunneriusson informs participants that the name of the informal group will be changed from “ACV” to “MVC” in the UNECE web-site by the UN secretariat.
