Proposal for Supplement 5 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 79
Proposal to remove certain design restrictions that impede the application of new technologies, especially related to trailer power steering systems and the use of energy from the towing vehicle, including specification of the connector through which electrical energy is supplied in the proposal. This proposal also replaces references to rear-view mirrors with the term “indirect vision devices” to reflect the addition of camera-monitor systems to UN R46 and clarifies the references to Regulation No. 10 on electromagnetic compatibility requirements.
This proposal (WP.29/2016/57) was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-four Contracting Parties out of the 41 applying UN R79 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-four voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.
