8. The expert from OICA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2018/14 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2018/16 aimed at clarifying provisions on mode selection when measuring emissions from OVC-HEV and bi-fuel gas vehicles. The expert from the Netherlands proposed amendments (GRPE-77-02 and GRPE-77-03) to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2018/14 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2018/16 respectively. The experts from France and Sweden supported the proposals from the expert from The Netherlands. GRPE adopted the proposals as reproduced in Annexes IV and V respectively.

13. GRPE requested the secretariat to submit ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2018/17 and Annex V to the report to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their November 2018 sessions as draft Supplements 10 and 8 to the 00 and the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 101 respectively.

10. The expert from OICA also presented GRPE-76-22 introducing GRPE-76-03 and GRPE-76-04, proposing to clarify the rules related to the selection of driving modes for testing of Off-Vehicle-Charging Hybrid Electric Vehicles (OVC-HEV). The Netherlands had some comments on the proposals GRPE-76-03 and GRPE-76-04 since the new text opens the door for interpretation plus the absence of any type approval authority confirmation. The Chair asked the cooperation of OICA and the Netherlands to work on an improved text. GRPE supported the intention of the proposal.

12. GRPE agreed to reconsider at the June 2018 session GRPE-76-03, GRPE-76-04 and GRPE-76-32. GRPE requested the experts from OICA and EC to combine the documents in one formal document.
