Agenda item 8. Gaseous Fuelled Vehicles (GFV)

Text from the Informal Group on Gaseous Fuelled Vehicles in order to comply with a request by the GRSG. Amendments proposed by the LNG Task Force on incorporating LNG systems into Regulation 110 were approved by the 104th session of the GRSG (GRSG/2013/7). The German delegate, recognizing that potential methane release — venting from ‘boil off’ — is an environmental issue suggested that the issue of holding time for LNG and its venting be brought forward to the GRPE.

GFV | Session 27 | 4 Jun 2013

33. There are two more informal documents from the GFV to the GRPE. One relates to LNG coming from the GRSG for venting and holding time. This was a request from Germany to bring the issue as an ‘environment concern’ to GRPE, but not to have an impact on the adoption of the LNG amendments to R.110. (66-05 and 66-20) The second document is a PowerPoint presentation of this same issue. Mr. Rijnders suggested that Mr. Seisler may be asked to make the presentation to GRPE since he was involved in the LNG TF and participated at the GRSG meeting in April where this issue came up.
