Proposal to amend para. 1.1. to specify scope criteria for hybrid electric and pure electric vehicles, insert footnote 1 defining terms by reference to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/78/Rev.8, amend para. 2. to add abbreviations for Automated Driving System, All-Wheel Drive, and Full Scale Deflection, amend paras. 3.4.1., 3.5.4., 3.5.5., and 3.5.6. to replace “driver” with “user” and “accelerator pedal command” with “acceleration demand”, amend Table 2 to replace “Accelerator pedal command” with “Acceleration demand”, amend para. 8.1.2. to permit onboard measurement data and require use of ADS testing mode for vehicles of categories X and Y, amend para. 8.8.1. to add operational metrics monitoring requirements, amend para. 8.8.3. to reference manufacturer-specified normal operating ranges, amend para. 8.8.5. to replace “driver” with “user”, amend para. 8.8.6. to replace “accelerator pedal command” with “acceleration demand” and permit variation as recommended by manufacturer, amend para. 8.9.1. to replace “accelerator pedal command” with “acceleration demand”, and amend Appendix 1 item 7.3. and Appendix 2 items 3.4. and 3.6. to replace “driver” with “user” and “Accelerator pedal command” with “Acceleration demand”.

Proposal to define service life for each region or country of usage based on average vehicle age at recycling point, establish methodologies for calculating deterioration factors for fuel cell hybrid electric vehicles and off-vehicle charging hybrid electric vehicles, exclude traction battery and fuel cell system replacement by default unless practitioners provide detailed justification grounded in empirical field study data or official manufacturer statements concerning durability and replacement practices, and clarify that for Japan, no statistics on service life in kilometres or years are currently available, requiring use of default regional values or peer-reviewed alternatives where Japanese data cannot be obtained.
