| Summary | The objective of this document is to provide recommendations for the minimum quality of market fuels (i.e. gasoline and diesel) that should be introduced in parallel, and at the same time, with the corresponding emissions standards.They complement the motor vehicle and NRMM pollutant emission standards that a country or a region may be considering to introduce, or to update | ||||||||

68. The representative from OICA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2019/13 proposing amendments to Annex 4 to Mutual Resolution R.E.3. on market fuel quality recommendations. The representative from Netherlands asked if and when can the market fuel quality recommendations be updated for Non-Road Mobile Machinery (NRMM). The representative from OICA stated that EUROMOT supported the initiative and that they might want to update the section about NRMM in the future. 69. The representatives from Netherlands, Spain and EC supported the proposal. 70. The Chair highlighted that fuel quality was of paramount importance to deliver on sustained low emissions from cars, as both cleaner fuels and advanced emission control systems were needed to deliver on cleaner tailpipe emissions. Using the right fuel quality represented an essential prerequisite to a successful and long-lasting improvement of air quality. 71. He suggested that it would be important to include all vehicle categories in this document to provide a more comprehensive guidance to countries on the compatibility of vehicles emissions control systems and fuel quality requirements. The representative from IMMA supported the proposal from OICA, AECC and CLEPA and recognized fuel quality was an important topic. IMMA would consider covering the issue once the transposition of UN GTR No. 2 into a UN Regulation would be completed. 72. GRPE adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2019/13 and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.3 for consideration and vote at their November 2019 sessions. |
