Proposed text of a UN Global Technical Regulation (UN GTR) on safety of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.

GRSP/2012/12 is the proposed text of the new UN GTR on safety of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. This proposal from OICA would retain the “barriers alternative” for post-crash electrical safety (in effect removing brackets that signify tentative language from the relevant text).

Submission by the secretary of the informal group on the Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle Safety to correct editorial errors in and improve the clarity of the draft GTR.
