Proposal to clarify the need for 3-phase and 4-phase analysis of test data depending on the fuel type of the engine (petrol or diesel)

Proposal aims to clarify the measurement data.

Proposal transposes the content of UN GTR No. 21

Proposal to specify the requirements for the headform test. This test should not be mandatory for vehicles where the protection of the occupant’s head is not achieved by the glazing itself, rather by a restraint system or other means.

Proposal to stipulate that “vehicle alarm systems (VAS) approved in accordance with the provisions of Regulation No. 163 on Alarm System are deemed to comply with Part II of this Regulation.”

The wording “vehicle master switch” can be misleading for some electric or ADR vehicles. OICA recommends alignment on the text recently harmonized among the GRVA regulations

OICA questions the necessity of the proposed amendments as these cannot be covered
under the existing regulations for vehicle type approval

Proposal by OICA to amend document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2024/36 to indicate the Manufacturers’ needs regarding the changes

Proposal to amend document GRSG/2024/37 (proposal to align the text of UN R105 with the latest version of the Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR)).

Proposal to align the text of UN R105 with the latest version of the Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR).

Proposal to allow the FMVSS FAD test to be performed as an alternative to the current
UN R14 test using the body blocks.

Clarification to delete erroneous table references.

Proposal to amend documents WP.29/2023/49 and WP.29/2023/50 (adopted by WP.29 in June 2023) to clarify the definition of the “third of windscreen”.

Proposal to amend provisions concerning full power steering to address technological advances such as steer-by-wire systems.

Proposal for amendments, including view that the original proposal changes the conditions for approval and therefore should be in the form of a new series of amendments with transitional provisions.

Proposal to permit the type approval of a park lock device as an alternative to the friction parking brake(s).

Proposal for amendments to the draft provisions on e-trailers.

Proposal to address loss of trailer friction braking efficiency due to increased use of robust endurance braking systems and electrification of trucks. The number of trucks with strong endurance braking systems and increasing electrification of vehicles with more efficient energy recuperating systems reduces the use of friction brakes. As a result, brake pads and linings in some commercial vehicles do not reach a temperature that is needed for the development of optimum brake performance. In particular in trailers, a loss of brake force develops due to brake pads and linings losing effectiveness – they “fall asleep” and need to be replaced although they are not worn out.

Proposal to align UN R79 and UN R157 with UN R152 (AEBS for M1 and N1) regarding the conditions for automatic re-instatement of a system at the “initiation of each engine start / run cycle”.

Proposal to permit the use of a positive lock type system as an alternative to a friction type parking brake system.
