Proposal to establish a new UN Regulation for approval of vehicles of category N₁Y regarding fuel system integrity, electrical shock protection, and crash compatibility. The regulation specifies requirements for frontal, rear-end, and lateral collision tests based on existing UN Regulations (No. 94, 95, 137, and 153), with provisions for liquid fuel leakage limits, hydrogen fuel system integrity including shut-off valve closure and leakage rate limits, electrical protection from high voltage systems, REESS retention and fire hazard prevention, and crash compatibility criteria and values determined from longitudinal acceleration measurements.
Terms of Reference establishing the IWG on A-LCA under GRPE to develop an internationally-harmonised procedure to determine the carbon footprint of different automotive technologies from production to use and disposal as a resolution under WP.29. Working items include defining scope, inventory analysis methodology, and A-LCA report format. The group’s mandate ends in December 2026 with possible adoption of the UN Resolution by WP.29 in November 2026. The IWG is open to all experts from any country or organisation of WP.29, chaired by Japan and Republic of Korea, with technical secretaries from OICA, E-Mobility Europe and Japan.
Draft agenda for the 44th session of the IWG on A-LCA scheduled for 13 October 2026. The session will cover discussion on next steps, revision of terms of reference, OICA and CLEPA industrial guidelines, review of report to GRPE, and any other business including updates on J3341_202608.
Draft report of the 12th session of the Task Force on Lamps Under Parked Conditions. Discussion of a proposal for modification of UN R48 covered additional colours for energy indicators, with concerns raised regarding blue indicators and police signals, the number of indicators permitted per connector, distinction between passenger cars and trucks/buses, and observation angles and intensities. Agreement was reached on the size of apparent surface for indicators. The group decided to continue discussion on lamp test mode at the next session and to send a status report, revised Terms of Reference, and an informal proposal to the 95th session of GRE.
