Proposal to add para. 8.1.2. to specify required measurements for the test vehicle including onboard measurement data permissibility and minimum requirements, and add para. 8.1.2.1. to specify measurements specific to TP1 including electrical current and voltage at REESS or inverter inputs, ICE speed, intake manifold pressure, and fuel flow rate, and DC/DC converter measurement options. The amendments ensure consistency with other paragraphs in the regulation such as para. 6.9.2.1. and Annex 1, Appendix 2, 9.1.1.
Status update on Euro 7 implementation for light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles. For LDV (M₁, N₁), application begins 30 months after Euro 7 entry into force for new types (29 November 2026) and 42 months for all new vehicles (29 November 2027). For HDV (M₂, M₃, N₂, N₃, O₃, O₄), application begins 48 months after entry into force for new types (29 May 2028) and 60 months for all new vehicles (29 May 2029). Small Volume Manufacturers comply from 1 July 2030 (M₁, N₁) and 1 July 2031 (M₂, M₃, N₂, N₃). Brake emissions apply 1 January 2030 for LDV and 1 January 2030–1 January 2035 for HDV. Tyre abrasion (UN R186) applies 1 July 2028 for C1 class tyres, 1 April 2030 for C2 class, and 1 April 2032 for C3 class.
Document presents preliminary views on minimum performance requirements for in-vehicle battery durability under Euro 7 heavy-duty vehicle standards. It outlines implementation timeline for the OMNIBUS proposal in first and second phases, with application dates of 1 January 2030 for the first phase and 1 January 2035 for the second phase. Brake emissions and tyre abrasion requirements are addressed, including UN Regulation No. 186 application dates for C2 and C3 class tyres. Reporting and review provisions under Article 18 are included. The document notes that the order of items and timeline indications are preliminary and for discussion purposes only.
Session agenda for the 100th meeting of the Electric Vehicles and the Environment Informal Working Group on 13 October 2026. The agenda covers status reports and presentations on UN GTR 22, UN GTR 21, and UN GTR 25, with discussion of Euro 7 review clause, readiness monitoring, and regulatory topics including MPRs, energy throughput, and Part C virtual distance verification.
Report from the Task Force Data Analysis to the Informal Working Group on Real Driving Sound Emissions and Performance (IWG RD-ASEP) covering several technical matters: clarification on restrictions in UN R51 supplement 11 to avoid high noise levels for single-gear vehicles; restructuring of control range specifications in Annex 7; redefinition of maximum reference acceleration for the sound emission model; discretization of factor x determination with consideration of rounding procedures; clarification of AVAS sound level requirements distinguishing between whole-vehicle and component-level interpretations; and temperature correction application for the sound emission model. Further work topics include indoor testing, EV model simplification, and slope considerations.
Field test of on-board diagnostics (OBD) use during periodic emission testing for Euro 5+ motorcycles. Fifty-three Euro 5+ motorcycles were tested to examine feasibility and practicability of OBD-based inspection procedures. All motorcycles had 6-pin or 16-pin connectors. Challenges included locating OBD ports, accessing them with mechanical tools, engine coolant temperature readouts for oil/air-cooled motors, revving to 2500 rpm on some scooters, and measuring lambda with short exhaust systems. OBD information improves periodic technical inspection reliability for Euro 5+ motorcycles.
Document identifies technical and drafting issues in UN R157 and its Global Technical Regulation equivalent requiring clarification or correction. Issues include:
Review of the initial set of ADS Phase 2 work items and their integration into an ADS2 IWG plan for 2026-2028.
