Latest version of RE3 posted

27 January 2014

The latest version of the Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3) has been published. RE3 provides a common reference for information pertinent to UN Regulations and the 1958 Agreement (e.g., type approval system) such as vehicle categories and certain terminology used across the regulations.

This third revision covers all the amendments adopted so far by the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations and replaces the previous version and its four amendments. R.E.3 now includes references to UN Regulations annexed to the 1958 Agreement, a standard annex on the “H” point and the actual torso angle for seating position, the list of distinguishing numbers of Contracting Parties, new guidelines on measures ensuring the audibility of hybrid and electric vehicles, recommendations on market fuel quality and design principles for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).

The document can be found on the RE3 rule page.
