6.1 Report from the drafting group

The Chairman reported that the HDH drafting group had been established and had two meetings, so far. The Technical Secretary has not yet been nominated. It was agreed and confirmed to integrate the hybrid test procedure into GTR n° 4. Starting point for the HILS method is the Japanese regulation. Modifications to the Japanese regulation (e.g. the new model structure) and any additional items (e.g. thermal models) would be included based on the input from the HDH work program. The powertrain test procedure will be based on the EPA regulation.

6.2 Re-structuring of GTR n°4

The secretary reported on the status. The details of the HILS method and of the powertrain test procedure will be incorporated into a new Annex 8 to GTR n°4. On the HDH website, specific folders “HDH DG …” have been created. The current very preliminary draft is already available on this folder. The draft versions prepared by the drafting group will be uploaded to the drafting group folder for review by the IWG members, whenever a new draft is available. Any editorial comments should be submitted to the technical secretary (to be nominated), any other comments to the IWG for discussion.
