Agenda Item 17.1.
GTR No. 2 (Worldwide Motorcycle emission Test Cycle) and other GTR on environmental and propulsion unit requirements for L category of vehicles

112. The representative of the European Commission reminded AC.3 that the IWG on EPPR had a mandate to work both under the 1998 and the 1958 Agreement, and that in 2013 the Group had decided discuss the following five gtrs: (i) revision and update for technical progress in UN GTR No 2, (ii) a new UN GTR on test types III and IV (crank case emissions and evaporative emission), (iii) a new UN GTR on test type V (durability requirements of pollutant control devices), (iv) a new UN GTR on-board diagnostics, and (v) a new UN GTR on propulsion unit performance requirements regarding harmonized test methods with respect to measuring the maximum vehicle speed, maximum torque and power of the propulsion unit. He noted that the aim was to submit a final draft version as an informal document to the June GRPE session. He informed AC.3 that the discussions on amending UN GTR No. 2 had started and that priority had been given by the Group to amend test Types I, II and VII and dedicate separate sections to the topics that required a change in the current structure of the gtr. He noted that an extension of the mandate would be discussed at the next meeting. He added that, the tenth meeting of this IWG was scheduled to take place in Brussels on 18 -20 March 2015.
