Working Party on Pollution and Energy | Session 82 | 12-15 Jan 2021
Geneva
Agenda Item 3. (a)
UN Regulations Nos. 68, 83, 101, 103, and 154

6. The representative from OICA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2021/2 extending the existing option included in the 06 and 07 into the 05 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 83 allowing the calculation of road load values from those determined according to UN GTR No.15 (WLTP). The representative from Australia raised the point that the modifications made in the 06 and 07 series referred to UN Regulation No. 154 without specifying the level nor the series of amendments that apply, potentially risking the ability to approve vehicles that have a maximum speed below 130 km/h. GRPE noted that when NEDC road loads are calculated from WLTP road loads for use in UN Regulations Nos. 83 or 101, the maximum speed of the derivation tests must be sufficient for both the NEDC and for the specific vehicle.

7. The representatives from the Netherlands and CITA supported the proposal. GRPE endorsed the proposal to amend the 05 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 83.

8. GRPE requested the secretariat to submit ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2021/2 to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their June 2021 sessions as draft Supplement 14 to the 05 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 83.

9. The representative from OICA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2021/3 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2021/5 correcting errors in the 06 and 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 83. GRPE endorsed the proposals to amend the 06 and 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 83.

10. GRPE requested the secretariat to submit ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2021/3 to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their June 2021 sessions as draft Supplement 16 to the 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 83.

11. GRPE requested the secretariat to submit ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2021/3 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2021/5 to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their June 2021 sessions as draft Supplement 13 to the 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 83.

12. The representative from OICA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2021/4 as amended by GRPE-82-17 proposing to correct errors in the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 101.

13. The representative from the European Commission (EC) requested a clarification about the possibility to submit those proposals as corrigendum instead of supplements. The secretariat clarified that a corrigendum is a document issued to correct an error or errors in a document or publication that has already been issued. He further added that the errors to be corrected were present in the documents issued and can therefore not be considered as corrigendum.

14. GRPE endorsed the proposals to amend the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 101 and requested the secretariat to submit ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2021/4 and GRPE-82-17, as amended by Annex IV of the session report to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their June 2021 sessions as draft Supplement 10 to the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 101.

15. The representative from OICA introduced GRPE-82-07 proposing to amend the 06 and 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 83 regarding equivalencies with respect to road load coefficients determination. The representative from Spain asked whether the sub paragraph (2) could be rephrased and clarified. The representative from OICA agreed and intended to prepare a working document for the next session of GRPE in June 2021.

16. The representative from OICA introduced GRPE-82-08 proposing to amend the 05 and 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 83 with respect to fuel specification alternatives for Type IV tests. The Chair of the IWG on Particle Measurement Programme (PMP) supported the proposal and agreed that testing with E10 fuel indeed represented a worst case scenario. The representative from OICA agreed and intended to prepare a working document for the next session of GRPE.

17. The representative from EC briefly introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2021/56 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2021/57 (together with GRPE-82-10 and GRPE-82-11 as track changes version respectively) that were submitted to the March 2021 session of WP.29 from the representatives from EU and Japan as amendments to UN Regulation No. 154. Both documents proposed changes to correct some mistakes found during the development of Amendment 6 to UN GTR No. 15. GRPE noted the amendments proposals and thanked the Contracting Parties (CPs) involved in the preparation of these documents.

19. GRPE endorsed GRPE-82-38 and requested the secretariat to upload a clean version of GRPE-82-38 under “Documents for reference only” on the GRPE website.

20. The representative from OICA introduced GRPE-82-20 and GRPE-82-21 proposing to amend UN Regulation No. 101 to include a Shortened Test Procedure NEDC for PEVs. The representative from the EC required more time for internal discussions before expressing a position on this proposal. The representative from OICA expected to introduce this proposal as a working document in the next session of GRPE in June 2021.
