Proposal for change in transitional provisions to take into considerations of the lifetime value retention status

Current status of calculation method and component dynamometer tests

This proposal updates provisions for automated vehicles and automated driving systems.

Proposal to introduce provisions relating to

• Manipulation Devices and Strategies that were previously in the 09 series of amendments to UN R83,
• the levels to which certain provisions apply,
• clarifications and corrections to the requirements for the laboratory test for pure electric range ratio at low temperature for Pure Electric Vehicles
• an update to allow the use in Levels 1A and 2 of actual tyre rolling resistance values to calculate the final road load coefficient for the individual vehicles, and
• align the Regulation with the current regional status and the current state-of-the-art.

Proposal to amend the scope to allow type approval of vehicles of categories M₁, M₂, N₁ and N₂ with a reference mass not exceeding 2,840 kg as direct approvals rather than only as extensions based on approved configurations below 2,610 kg. The modification permits manufacturers to obtain type approval for vehicles within the 2,610 kg to 2,840 kg reference mass range regardless of whether lower-mass configurations of the same vehicle type are approved, addressing concerns that the previous restriction created market distortions affecting different manufacturers differently, a concern heightened by fleet electrification.
