Recommendation to pursue a GTR specific to heavy-duty vehicles derived from the work on the light vehicle EV battery durability GTR.
58. The representative from OICA introduced GRPE-85-36 introducing its view on the forthcoming activity on heavy duty battery durability. The Chair of the IWG on EVE asked, according to the view of the representative from OICA, whether some part of the UN GTR developed for light duty vehicles would potentially be usable for heavy duty applications, or a whole new UN GTR would be needed. The representative from OICA said a new UN GTR would probably be more appropriate, with some elements from the light duty UN GTR potentially be used.
