6. The representative from OICA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2021/2 extending the existing option included in the 06 and 07 into the 05 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 83 allowing the calculation of road load values from those determined according to UN GTR No.15 (WLTP). The representative from Australia raised the point that the modifications made in the 06 and 07 series referred to UN Regulation No. 154 without specifying the level nor the series of amendments that apply, potentially risking the ability to approve vehicles that have a maximum speed below 130 km/h. GRPE noted that when NEDC road loads are calculated from WLTP road loads for use in UN Regulations Nos. 83 or 101, the maximum speed of the derivation tests must be sufficient for both the NEDC and for the specific vehicle.

7. The representatives from the Netherlands and CITA supported the proposal. GRPE endorsed the proposal to amend the 05 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 83.

8. GRPE requested the secretariat to submit ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2021/2 to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their June 2021 sessions as draft Supplement 14 to the 05 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 83.
