55. The Chair of GRPE (Netherlands) reported to WP.29 on the results achieved by GRPE during its eighty-first session (for more details see the report of the session ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/81).

56. GRPE endorsed a proposal for a new UN Regulation on Global Real Driving Emissions (RDE), along with proposals for Supplements 13, 15 and 12 to the 05, 06 and 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 83 (Emissions of M1 and N1 vehicles) and Supplement 9 to UN Regulation No. 115 (LPG and CNG retrofit systems). GRPE also endorsed a proposal for a new UN GTR on the Determination of Electrified Vehicle Power (DEVP), along with new Amendments 6 and 1 to UN GTR No. 15 and 18 respectively. Finally, GRPE endorsed a proposal to amend Mutual resolution No. 3 (M.R.3) on Vehicle Interior Air Quality (VIAQ).

57. The Chair of GRPE clarified that the vote on the new UN Regulation on RDE had been withdrawn as discussions related to the conformity factor were still ongoing.

58. GRPE agreed to enlarge the scope of the activities of the IWG on PMP to include on-road measurements, and to extend the mandate to the IWGs on VIAQ and EPPR until November and December 2025 respectively. GRPE paid tribute to the work and achievements of the IWG on WLTP which ceased its activities with its mandate having expired.

59. WP.29 gave its consent to the above extensions and thanked the tremendous effort of the IWG on WLTP over the years.

60. GRPE agreed to create a dedicated section for “Documents for reference only” on the GRPE website, as already existing for other GRs. A clarification document for UN Regulation No. 154 on WLTP issued by the IWG on WLTP will be uploaded to assist Contracting Parties willing to apply this UN Regulation.

61. GRPE re-elected Mr. André Rijnders of the Netherlands as a Chair, and Mr. Duncan Kay of the UK as a Vice-Chair for the year 2021.
