Proposal to establish definitions for “e-axle”, “e-axle trailer” and “dynamo function” and to establish provisions for the approval of e-axle trailers with regard to their “dynamo function”.

Proposal for withdrawal based on to highlight the broader implications for vehicle design and usability for consumers resulting from this proposal. The lowering of the sideguard and reduction in ramp angle will give reduced flexibility for vehicles and trailer combinations in certain applications (i.e. loading roll-
on, roll-off vessels) and conflict with the road surface and local infrastructure (i.e. grounding out), which will lead to damage or reduced life of sideguards.
