36. The Chair of the IWG on GFV introduced GRPE-71-03 aimed at simplifying the communication model of approval in UN Regulation No. 115 to prevent the retrofit system manufacturer from knowing in advance the original CO2 emissions of all qualified vehicles.

37. GRPE agreed in principle with the proposal and requested the secretariat to distribute it with an official symbol at the next GRPE session.

4. | Revised document related to R.115 for GFV consideration

4. GFV 40-02 has been proposed and discussed at the last GFV. The proposed amendment is aimed at simplifying the communication model of approval for LPG vehicles. As regards vehicle types for which the retrofit system is qualified (i.e. other than parent vehicles), the current model requires the communication of a calculated CO2 factor as well as of the specific CO2 emissions in the gas mode.

The proposal received approval from the GFV to move forward to the full GRPE meeting in June 2015.
