Proposal to extend the mandate of the informal working group on heavy-duty hybrids to allow for the adaptation of the hybrid provisions developed for GTR No. 4 (WHDC heavy-duty emissions test cycle) to GTR No. 11 (Non-road vehicle emissions).

34. GRPE endorsed the proposal of the HDH Chair to widen the mandate of the group to include amendments aligning UN GTR No. 4 with UN GTR No. 11. GRPE requested the sponsor (EU) to submit an informal document illustrating the choice to widen the mandate to the March 2014 session of WP.29 and AC.3, amending document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/AC.3/29.

89. The representative of EU confirmed that the IWG would present a formal proposal for amendments to the UN GTR for consideration by GRPE at its June 2014 session and expected that AC.3 would adopt it at its November 2014 session. He presented WP.29-162-08 requesting an extension of the GRPE mandate on developing amendments to the UN GTR including the alignment of UN GTRs Nos. 4 and 11. AC.3 adopted the request and invited the secretariat to prepare the corresponding AC.3 authorization.
