Proposal to refine the scope by replacing the phrase “can travel” by “can be propelled”. The use of “travel” in the scope can be interpreted to include vehicles using using electrical systems for purposes other than propulsion (e.g., energy recuperation) that fall outside the test conditions of UN R138.
This proposal (WP.29/2017/6) was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-seven Contracting Parties out of the 52 applying UN R138 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-seven voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.
