Flyer for the Conference on Environmentally Friendly Vehicles scheduled for 10-12 September 2012.

Submission prepared by the United States outlining the background, scope, objectives, and organization of the proposed effort to develop harmonized pedestrian alert sound requirements for electric and hybrid-electric vehicles via a new UN global technical regulation.

UK and USA proposal for a new WP.29 document that would maintain specifications for test tools and devices used in UN Regulations and GTR. The resolution would permit a streamlining of references to test devices prescribed in the regulations.

Agenda for the first working session (second meeting following the organizational session) of the informal group formed to exchange information on enforcement and compliance issues.

Report on the first session of the informal working group established to develop a global technical regulation for electric vehicle safety.

Proposed guidelines for the scope, objectives, and procedures of the informal group established to develop a global technical regulation on electric vehicle safety.

Progress report by the Environmentally Friendly Vehicles Task Force Group, especially concerning the preparation of a report reviewing the progress of automotive EFV technologies since 2003.

EFV informal group report “Environmentally Friendly Vehicles and the World Forum For the Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP. 29), 2003 – 2012: Ten Years of Progress and Future Trends”.

US notice of proposed rulemaking to set minimum sound levels for electric and hybrid vehicles. Supplemental document provided for convenience by GAR.

Status Report on the United States of America’s Consideration of Global Technical Regulations for Incorporation into Its Domestic Standards

Proposal of two amendments needed to enable the United States to vote in favor of the draft GTR. First, the document allows contracting parties the option of an alternate procedure for adjusting the seat and positioning the dummy based on that used by the United States during its WorldSID research. Second, the document allows contracting parties to modify the injury criteria in the GTR based on cost/benefit analysis for their own country, but using the same injury risk curves used to develop the injury criteria in the GTR.

The purpose of this paper is to provide a framework through which the delegates to the World Forum for the Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) and other interested stakeholders can examine the experience with the 1998 Global Agreement and agree on ideas and processes for improvement in its implementation.

Progress report on the development of GTR concerning safety aspects of electric vehicles.

Comments received from OICA, CLEPA/MEMA/JAPIA, and Transport Canada with “trilateral group” (EU/USA/Japan) responses.

The purpose of this paper is to provide a framework through which the delegates to the World Forum for the Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) and other interested stakeholders can examine the experience with the 1998 Global Agreement and agree on ideas and processes for improvement in its implementation.
