Draft Terms of Reference for a Task Force Group under GRPE to develop a framework for terms, definitions and classifications regarding vehicle propulsion systems.
1. LabProcICE reported on the working progress (see document WLTP-DTP-09-05). Several bilateral meetings held between LabProcICE and drafting coordinator to deliver input to draft gtr text.
2. Definitions will be put into a database to be able to handle the amount of definitions. General documents of the GRPE-chair (document WP.29-156-26) concerning the definitions will be considered. DTP is responsible to deliver definitions for GTR-text. DC will schedule web Conferences with DTP-Subgroups for further progress on definitions.
3. Multimode-Gearboxes:
4. Evaluation Issues for Validation 2 (See Guidance document WLTP-DTP-09-10):
5. Road Load Determination
6. Measurement equipment: Part 1066 compliant test cells are WLTP compliant as well (but not vice-versa).
80. The Chair of GRPE introduced WP.29-156-26, containing the terms of reference for a task force group under GRPE to develop a framework system of terms, definitions and classifications on vehicle propulsion systems. He mentioned that, even if the activity of the VPSD would have an impact on the work of several GRs and their informal groups, he expected WLTP to be the main informal group concerned. He underlined that this activity is expected to build bridges across different areas of work in the WP.29 framework. Given the need to start the activities of this informal group, he invited GRPE experts to contact him if they want to be involved in this work, and he requested the secretariat to allocate a specific item on the next GRPE agenda to this task.
81. GRPE endorsed this approach.
101. WP. 29 endorsed the proposal of the Chair of GRPE for establishing an informal working group on Vehicle Propulsion System Definitions (VPSD), under the chairmanship of Germany (WP.29-156-26). The World Forum approved the terms of reference of the informal working group as reproduced below:
(a) VPSD under GRPE will be chaired by Germany, participation is open for everybody.
(b) VPSD will work in close cooperation with the informal working group on Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedures, subgroup on the Development of the Test Procedure (WLTP-DTP) and the WLTP drafting manager.
(c) VPSD shall:
