The light vehicle emissions GTR (WLTP) is being transposed into a UN Regulation. Given its complexity, the preferred approach is to draft a UN Regulation that would allow national/regional application with different stringency levels. The task force preparing the UN Regulation version of the GTR seeks IWVTA informal group input to understand issues that may impact the application of the light vehicle emissions regulation to whole vehicle type approvals.
45. The GRPE Ambassador to the IWG on International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA) presented a status report (GRPE-76-31) of the IWG on IWVTA.
46. He informed GRPE that Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement entered into force on 14 September 2017. He mentioned that the IWG reviewed the options to transpose UN GTR No. 15 into a new UN Regulation on WLTP and excluded option 3 (see para. 19). He mentioned the “Questions and Answers” document prepared on Revision 3 and on UN Regulation No. 0. He invited interested experts to consult these documents. He concluded his intervention by mentioning the difficulties faced by UNECE that was to finance the Database for the Exchange of Type Approval documentation (DETA) necessary for the proper functioning of IWVTA.
