Proposal to enable real-time reading of electrical transmission brake demand values via an OBD connector and scan tool during periodical technical inspections.

Proposal to enable real-time reading of electrical transmission brake values during periodical technical inspections.

Proposal from OICA, CLEPA, and CITA to amend CITA’s proposal to enable real-time reading of electrical transmission brake demand values via an electronic vehicle interface and an off-board electronic device during periodical technical inspections, including a 24-month transitional period.

Document identifies challenges with headlamp aiming for glare prevention. UP-DOWN aiming challenges include vehicle actual load and cut-off line definition. LEFT-RIGHT aiming challenges include references on the vehicle and kink point definition. Cut-off line definition makes it difficult to check up-down aiming; kink point definition makes it difficult to check left-right aiming. The beam pattern must be used to check alignment. The way forward includes reviewing criteria for passing-beam orientation in approval and adapting inspection criteria accordingly.

This Regulation provides uniform provisions for approval of vehicles of categories M₁–M₃ and N₁–N₃ equipped with electric traction chain powertrain retrofit systems to be converted into pure electric vehicles (EV) or Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles (HFCV). Retrofit system manufacturers must submit applications including descriptions of the retrofit system, original parent vehicle, modifications, compliance verification, application range, installed samples, authorized installers, and conversion plates. Type approval requires meeting general requirements for design, construction, durability, and failure communication, plus specific requirements in Annexes 5A for EVs and 5B for HFCVs. Only authorized installers may perform conversions, and manufacturers must provide installation documents and end-user manuals.
