Proposal to amend UN R18, UN R39, UN R46, UN R55, UN R58, UN R67, UN R73, UN R93, UN R97, UN R102, UN R105, UN R107, UN R110, UN R116, UN R121, UN R122, UN R125, UN R144, UN R147, UN R151, UN R158, UN R159, UN R160, UN R161, UN R162, UN R163, UN R166, UN R169, UN R176, UN R181, UN R182 and UN R183:

• Add new paragraphs defining Software Identification Number by reference to Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3) Annex 7, para. 2,
• amend paragraphs concerning production discontinuation to clarify that production is not considered definitively discontinued if vehicle manufacturers intend to obtain subsequent extensions of approval for software updates of vehicles already registered in the market,
• add new paragraphs requiring manufacturers to provide Technical Services with information on all hardware and software having an influence on performance,
• add new paragraphs allowing vehicle manufacturers to apply for new vehicle approvals to differentiate software versions for vehicles already registered in the market from those for new vehicles,
• add new paragraphs to approval forms requesting additional information regarding software identification and software updates, including whether Software Identification Number is held on the vehicle and relevant parameters for identification of vehicles that can be updated with the represented software.

Proposal to insert new paragraphs 0. and 0.1. to 0.1.4., amend paragraphs 2.6., 2.7., 4.4.1., 5.1., 5.2., and 5.5. to 5.11., insert new paragraphs 2.9. and 2.10., and amend paragraph 1., footnote 1, to extend UN R39 application to vehicles of categories X and Y and vehicles with manual mode operating at speeds above 6 km/h equipped with Automated Driving System Feature of Type 2 (ADSF-2), revise speedometer and odometer requirements accordingly, and clarify provisions related to driver absence and manual driving controls.

Proposal to amend UN Regulation No. 39 (Speedometer and odometer) to introduce software update references and identification. New provisions add definitions regarding Software Identification Number, refer to Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3), Annex 7, paragraph 2. Modifications address production definitively discontinued, software updates for registered vehicles, hardware and software information provision, vehicle approval for differentiating software versions, and additional information regarding software identification. The proposal references ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1175, paragraph 37, and incorporates provisions from R.E.3 Annex 7 to define R39SWIN as dedicated identifier representing type-approval relevant software information.

Proposal to amend and supersede document ECE/TRANS/GRSG/2025/18 as amended by GRSG-130-66 Rev. 2. This document amends and supersedes those documents. Supplement ² to the 02 series of amendments to UN R39 is introduced to account for vehicles of categories X and Y, as well as vehicles with manual mode operating at speeds above 6 km/h equipped with an Automated Driving System Feature of Type 2. The Regulation extends application to vehicles without driver and without manual driving controls. An odometer display is required for vehicles of categories X and Y. Speedometer requirements do not apply to vehicles of categories X and Y or while an ADSF-2 is active. Authorised persons may read the odometer.

Proposal to clarify that FVA displays indicating vehicle speed or distance traveled are not considered to be onboard speedometers or odometers for the purposes of paragraphs 5.1. and 5.2. of UN R39, including with regard to the visibility requirement during night and day in paragraph 5.2. since the speed displayed by the FVA is not the primary source of information.
