17. The expert from OICA updated GRPE on the status of the work related to propose an amendment to UN Regulation No. 101 (GRPE-79-11) to accept the tests currently performed in the European Union in the interest of correlation between NEDC and WLTP outside of the European Union where such correlation does not exist. The representative of Australia described the measure taken in the country to accept approvals based on WLTP and still rely on NEDC-based values for fiscal and labelling purposes.

11. The expert from OICA introduced GRPE-78-20 proposing to amend UN Regulation No.101 to permit the measurement of fuel and energy consumption and CO2 emissions using road loads which are calculated according to the method used in EU correlation. The representative from EC sought clarifications on the use of CO2MPAS for this proposal. The representative from OICA explained that CO2MPAS formula are expected to be used for the calculation of road load coefficients, without using the CO2MPAS software itself. The representative from EC backed the proposal and requested that the EU JRC be involved in developing the working document. The Chair thanked the representative from OICA for initiating this effort and for making the latest legislative provisions available to all Contracting Parties.
