Proposal to insert a new paragraph 0 introducing supplements 4 and 5 to the 04 series of amendments extending the Regulation to vehicles of categories X and Y, amend paragraph 1 to establish scope and exemptions for categories X and Y, amend paragraphs 2.8, 2.22, 2.29, 2.32, 2.44, and 2.45 to define test procedures and reference areas for vehicles without drivers or manual controls, and amend paragraph 5.3.1.2 to clarify automatic return of ARHSS when vehicle speed exceeds 25 km/h or while an ADS feature is active.
Proposal to establish uniform provisions concerning approval of vehicles of category N1Y regarding fuel system integrity protection, electrical shock protection, and vehicle crash compatibility in frontal, rear-end, and lateral collisions, modify frontal impact test procedures to reference either UN R94 or UN R137 at manufacturer choice in agreement with the Technical Service, add Crash Compatibility Criterion and Crash Compatibility Value definitions and requirements not exceeding 40 g and 100 g × tonne respectively, modify lateral impact test provisions to reference UN R95 without specific side pole impact applicability, modify rear-end impact test procedures to reference UN R153, add post-crash hydrogen fuel system integrity assessment procedures, add provisions allowing vehicles derived from compliant category X vehicles to be deemed compliant, add electrolyte leakage and REESS retention requirements for electric powertrains, permit vehicles with maximum design speed not exceeding impact speed to be tested at their maximum design speed with compliance to post-impact requirements, and establish extension procedures for vehicles derived from previously approved types.
The agenda includes discussion of preliminary outcomes and planning research activities. Future sessions are scheduled for September 8th, 2026, November 10th, 2026, and January 2027 in Japan before GRVA-27.
PMP webex meeting scheduled for 9th July 2026, 12:00–14:30 CET. Agenda includes an overview of amendments to Brakes GTR 24 and UN R179, task force discussions on layout and testing topics, vehicles limited speed, brake replacement parts, electromechanical brakes GTR and UNR, HD brakes, projects on tyres and brakes, and any other business. Webex meeting access details and link provided.
The GRE Task Force on LED Substitutes / Retrofits prepared proposals for four new LED replacement light source categories: H9_LEDr, H10_LEDr, HIR2_LEDr, and HB3_LEDr, developed in accordance with GRE-91-14 and GRE-94-18 and taking into account equivalence criteria detailed in GRE-83-15. All four categories meet photometric, thermal, and electrical performance requirements using established bi-directional equivalence concepts. H9_LEDr, HIR2_LEDr, and HB3_LEDr employ control point requirements instead of black-top specifications. All four categories have longer area B with modified homogeneity requirements. H9_LEDr contains a single luminous flux specification of 1875 lm at 13.2V to limit impact on beam performance in high-beam and bi-functional applications.
Proposal to amend para. 3.3., Group 5 to add LED replacement light source categories H9, H10, HB3, and HIR2, insert new sheets H9_LEDr/1 to 7, H10_LEDr/1 to 7, HB3_LEDr/1 to 7, and HIR2_LEDr/1 to 7 in Annex 3, and update the Status table to reflect Amendment 13 based on TFSR-28 documents, with H10 proposal based on GRE-94-19, specifications derived from enforced LEDr category sheets and equivalence criteria detailed in GRE-83-15.
The 29th meeting of the GRE Task Force on Substitutes/Retrofits is scheduled for 13 July 2026, 13:00–14:00 CEST, held online via Teams. The agenda includes discussion of the way forward, review of GRE94 report, proposals for R.E.5 covering H11 LEDr, H8 LEDr, H16 LEDr, HB4 LEDr, front fog types including H10, high beam types including HIR2, HB3, and H9, low beam types, clarification of R37 requirements for LEDr, enforcement and market surveillance, preparation and submissions to GRE95, any other business, and next meetings.
