AEGPL views on the proposal to align Regulation No.115 to the new WLTC test cycle, defined in the GTR 15 and in the Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 and later modifications.
39. The expert from Italy introduced GRPE-77-09 on the need to update UN Regulation No. 115 and the need to introduce a reference to WLTP instead of emission tests performed on the basis of the former test cycle (New European Driving Cycle (NEDC)). He proposed to host a meeting with all interested parties in order to develop a working document that would be presented at the January 2019 session of GRPE. He mentioned the letter from the expert of AEGPL showed support to the idea and interest to participate in the activities (GRPE-77-23). He stated that the difficulty for this work was that WLTC was not yet included in a UN Regulation but in a UN GTR.
