UN R155 Cybersecurity Regulation for Motorbikes on its Way

In future, two-wheeled vehicles will also have to be homologated from the perspective of cybersecurity requirements.¹ This includes, on the one hand, the operation of a cybersecurity management system including the core processes for identifying, assessing and, if necessary, mitigating cybersecurity risks, field observation, etc. and, on the other hand, the implementation of measures at vehicle level.

UNECE’s Working Party on Automated/Autonomous and Connected Vehicles decided on Jan 26, 2024 to include motorcycles, scooters and electric bicycles with speed exceeding 25 km/h in the scope of the UN Regulation No. 155 on cyber security and cyber security management.² 

The decision to extend the scope of UN Regulation 155 to motorcycles (vehicle category L) will be submitted to the UNECE-hosted World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) for adoption in June 2024.
