GTR No. 2 (Worldwide Motorcycle emission Test Cycle (WMTC)) and other gtrs on environmental and propulsion unit requirements for L category of vehicles

113. The representative of EU, on behalf of the Chair of the IWG on EPPR for L-category vehicles, summarized the work progress of the group. He recalled the priorities defined by the group that addressed in a first stage: the Type 1 test, the crankcase and evaporative emissions as well as on-board diagnostics for powered two-wheelers. He announced that, given the timeline, an extension of the mandate might be necessary for the remaining issues that were not prioritized. He also announced that the next IWG session would be held in Geneva in January 2015. AC.3 agreed to resume discussion on the subject at its March 2015 session. The representative of IMMA added that the IWG recently reconfirmed the priority to ensure effective progress. This included a focus on the insertion of two-wheelers and then, progressively, three-wheelers and light four-wheelers into the scope of the work.
