Proposal as approved by the GRPE to introduce type-approval provisions for vehicles equipped with LNG propulsion systems and to extend the pollutant emission requirements of the regulation to dual-fuel heavy duty engines and vehicles.
[Proposal adopted.]
37. The Chair of the informal group on Gaseous Fuelled Vehicles (GFV) introduced: (i) ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2013/7, a proposal to amend the 05 series of amendments of UN Regulation No. 49 to extend the Euro V pollutant emission requirements to dual-fuel heavy duty engines and vehicles; and (ii) GRPE-66-25 (presented concisely in GRPE-66-39), a revision of the calculation methods also in use for the Euro VI dual-fuel engines, an update of hydrocarbon emission limits and some editorial modifications.
38. The expert from the EC introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2013/8 and GRPE-66-10, containing modifications to the 06 series of amendments of UN Regulation No. 49 that aim to reduce the risks of misinterpretations of the regulatory text.
40. GRPE adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2013/7, as amended by GRPE-66-25, and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2013/8, as amended by GRPE-66-10 and GRPE-66-35-Rev.1. GRPE requested the secretariat to submit the resulting proposals to WP.29 and AC.1, for consideration at their November 2013 sessions, respectively as Supplement 6 to the 05 series of amendments to Regulation No. 49 and Supplement 2 to the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 49.
