This document is a progress report to the Executive Committee of the 1998 Agreement (AC.3) on the development of the draft gtr for electric vehicle safety (EVS), as recommended by the Working Party on Passive Safety (GRSP) at its May 2014 session. An extension of the mandate for the informal working group (IWG) is requested.

Progress report on the efforts to achieve convergence in worldwide regulations governing the in-use and post-crash safety of equipment and subsystems specific to electrified vehicles via the development of UN Global Technical Regulations.

Presentation by the secretariat to open discussion of issues related to the introduction of provisions for electrified vehicles and systems within the context of the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (which allows Contracting Parties to grant approvals under earlier series of amendments).
