Consolidated proposal for the phase 1b amendments to GTR No. 15 including the changes presented in document WLTP-13-05 (marked up for easy reference).

Draft proposal to align the Regulation with the latest regional requirements (e.g., Euro 7) as submitted to GRPE (Informal document GRPE-92-09e).

Small Volume Manufacturers (SVMs) are defined as manufacturers producing fewer than 10,000 M1 or 22,000 N1 vehicles annually in the European Union. Ultra Small Volume Manufacturers (USVMs) produce fewer than 1,000 vehicles annually. SVMs receive exemptions from certain systems and testing requirements, including OBM, EEEDWS, and OBFCM installations for M1 and N1 vehicles. Type approvals granted before July 1, 2030 remain valid. In-service conformity checks are not mandatory for SVMs.

This document presents the position of OICA working groups on
WLTP mode construction. The proposal covers mode construction for conventional vehicles with options to be tested in Validation 2, including for electrified vehicles.

Rationale for the proposal to develop a new UN Regulation on recyclability of M1 and N1 vehicles to be annexed to the 1958 Agreement.

OICA proposal to transpose EU Directive 2005/64/EC on the type-approval of motor vehicles with regard to their reusability, recyclability and recoverability and its amendment, Commission Directive 2009/1/EC, into international legislation.

The requirement that “every driver shall at all times be able to control his vehicle” has recently given rise to discussions regarding the compatibility of the Convention with modern driver assistance systems. This proposal offers language to set parameters for the use of automated systems.

Motor vehicle manufacturer perspectives and recommendations towards defining uniform classifications, terms, and references to facilitate discussions on requirements for autonomous vehicle technologies.

OICA raises a number of concerns over the direction of the AECS discussions including implications for all “connectivity” technologies. OICA stresses need for AECS to establish true harmonization through performance (rather than design) requirements and for mutual recognition under the 1958 Agreement as well as to maintain the focus on vehicles (as opposed to unwarranted digressions into broader infrastructure, telecommunications systems, bandwidth, etc.).
