Proposal to render optional the fitment of front position lamps where the motorcycle is fitted with qualified automatic headlamp switching or daytime running lamps.

Proposal to render optional the fitment of front position lamps where the motorcycle is fitted with automatic headlamp switching or daytime running lamps meeting certain conditions and to add provisions regarding electrical connections and the activation of simultaneous lamps (e.g., to permit activation of rear lamps before the front lamps are activated).

Proposals from the Indian delegation to improve the working draft of the GTR (document TYREGTR-12-01) pursuant to the 16 September 2011 session of the Tyre GTR informal group, including certain IEC and FMVSS references.

Comments from India on informal documents GRRF–73-11 and GRRF-73-10 proposing to clarify and align the texts of GTR No. 3 and UN Regulation No. 78 on motorcycle braking systems.

Proposal to clarify the text of the regulation.

Comments on the text prepared by the International Motorcycle Manufacturers Association (IMMA) to modify provisions concerning the sharing of components within combined braking systems (CBS) in order to adapt to technological progress.

Comments on the text prepared by the Italy to modify GTR No. 3 provisions concerning the sharing of components within combined braking systems (CBS) in order to adapt to technological progress.

Comments on the proposed series of amendments to clarify a variety of requirements, notably concerning test surface requirements, ABS cycling, and peak braking coefficient measurements in UN R78.

Comments on the proposed series of amendments to clarify a variety of requirements, notably concerning test surface requirements, ABS cycling, and peak braking coefficient measurements, in GTR No. 3.

India supports the purpose of the amendments to GTR No. 3 (GRRF/2014/4) and UN R78 (GRRF/2014/5) to provide same safety in the case of a failure in CBS as that of the conventional system of the two independent brakes for two wheelers. However, India believes the application of the amendments to three-wheelers requires additional consideration. Therefore, in order to proceed with amendments concerning CBS for two-wheelers, India proposes changes to the proposed text in order to allow further consideration of three-wheelers.

India noted an erroneous reference to “ESC” in the original document where “BAS” was clearly intended.

Proposed corrections and clarifications to the draft text of the new regulation to separate ESC provisions from Regulation No. 13-H (document GRRF/2014/12).

India comments raising concerns over the feasibility of the proposal to combat odometer fraud in used car sales.

Proposal for corrections to the text.

Proposal to align the draft 03 series (document WP.29/2014/65) with other UN Regulations and Indian standards by specifying the upper weight threshold of the total permissible mass of M1 and N1 vehicles of 2.5 tonnes (rather than the current 2.8 tonnes).

Proposal to correct document GRSG/2016/20 where the reference to “Annex 5, paragraph 4” should be to paragraph 3.

Proposal to correct document GRSG/2017/15 based upon comparison against GTR No. 6. The table being revised is in Annex 18 (not 21). This proposal further corrects several values in the table per the original table developed under GTR 6.

Proposal to amend GRSG/2018/7 by adding the marking “/D” to signify laminated-glass panes subjected to the 2,260 g ball test and the headform test.

Proposal for an amendment to provide for the optional use of laminated-glass panes meeting mechanical strength requirements in front, exterior, forward-facing glazing of upper deck of double decked buses instead of laminated windscreen. This is in line with similar proposal discussed in 114th session of GRSG for UN Regulation No. 43.

India proposes formulation of new UN GTR under 1998 agreement for fire protection systems in occupant compartment of IC engine buses of M₃ category Class III based on methodology followed in Indian standard AIS-135 (Parts 3 and 4). The FPS is an inbuilt alarm and protection system based on water mist system installed in occupant compartment to allow evacuation time for bus occupants in case of fire event. India requests GRSG agreement and guidance for addition of this item under listing of candidate for development of new UN GTR.

Introduction of a new category L3-5, defined as a three-wheeled motor vehicle with a 2-wheeler-3-wheeler combination module, offers a
versatile and innovative approach to modern transportation needs

Proposal the inclusion of the definition of “Category 3-3 – 3-4 vehicle” within the Concerning the common definitions of vehicle categories, masses and dimensions.

Proposal to align the draft 03 series (document WP.29/2014/65) with other UN Regulations and Indian standards by limiting the upper weight threshold of the total permissible mass of M1 and N1 vehicles to 2.5 tonnes (rather than the current 2.8 tonnes).

Proposal for an amendment to provide for the optional use of laminated-glass panes meeting mechanical strength requirements in front, exterior, forward-facing glazing of upper deck of double decked buses instead of laminated windscreen.

Proposal to enable the approval of the laminated-glass panes with improved mechanical properties.

Proposal to amend paras. 2 to 2.1.7. to insert a new category L₃-₅ defined as a vehicle with three wheels with a 2 wheeler-3 wheeler combination module constructed so that a two-wheeled vehicle of category L₃ is combined with a non-self-propelled rear module unit that can be separated or combined as required, provided that either a two-wheeler of category L₃ or a three-wheeled vehicle of category L₅ can only be used at any point in time, and renumber existing categories L₆ and L₇ as L₇ and L₈ respectively.

Proposal to insert a new category 3-3/3-4 vehicle definition in para. 2.1.5. meaning a vehicle with three wheels with a 2-wheeler-3-wheeler combination module constructed so a two-wheeled vehicle of category 3-3 is combined with a non-self-propelled rear module unit that can be separated or combined, either a two-wheeler of category 3-3 or three-wheeled vehicle of category 3-4 only used at any time, and renumber para. 2.1.5. as 2.1.6. The new category addresses affordable and versatile transportation for low- and middle-income countries, enabling single certification instead of separate reports for two-wheeled and three-wheeled vehicles.
