5. In Norwegian: Forskrift om endring av forskrift 3. desember 2009 nr. 1438 om universell utforming av motorvogn i løyvepliktig transport

In english: Regulations relating to amendments to Regulations of 3 December 2009 No. 1438 relating to universal design of motor vehicles used for licensed transport etc.

6. The regulations applies for buses with passenger transport requiring a licence

7. -

8. In order to reduce the scope of a frontal collision, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration is proposing to introduce a requirement that class I, II and III buses registered in Norway after 1 January 2023 shall satisfy Section 5 of UN Regulation 29 when the test is carried out in accordance with Annex 3 Test A, the front impact test and the impact energy shall be in accordance with Section 5.5.2.

This is an impact test consisting of a suspended impactor with a mass of no less than 1,500 kg striking against the middle section of the bus front.

We are proposing to add a new fifth paragraph to Section 4 of the Regulations, setting out a requirement for Class I, II and III buses to meet the requirements for frontal protection where a crash test has been carried out in accordance with Section 5 of UN/ECE Regulation No. 29 Annex 3 Test A.

9. There have been a not insignificant number of accidents involving buses where bus drivers have been seriously injured or killed in connection with a frontal impact accident. The Accident Investigation Board Norway has therefore recommended the introduction of technical requirements to the bus front to reduce the extent of damage and injury in connection with potential frontal impact accidents. It has also been raised by the labour unions that the buses need to become more crash resistant.

The proposal entails introducing requirements for a reinforced underrun protection device across the entire bus front to prevent extensive damage both to the bus and to the colliding party. We propose that the requirement be applied to buses used for passenger transport requiring an operator’s licence. Such a solution means that the bus must be presented for approval at a Driver and Vehicle Licensing Office before the bus can be used in Norway.
