ACEA presents proposal to correct editorial errors in the current GTR. There is a formula for calculation of fuel consumption that needs to be corrected because the use of different units on different places in the GTR. Japan explains that the unit Wh/km was introduced in phase 1a in order to be used when calculating RCB correction factors for use to calculate phase specific values. ACEA presents two proposals to correct. Option one to correct to the unit Wh and option two to keep the unit as it is Wh/km.

Japan prefers option two. Can accept option one with slight modification of RCB correction. In order that it can be used to calculate phase specific RCB correction factors.

T&E made comments on GTR last year including annex 8. Ichikawa-san will check if these are included in the last version of the GTR. With the assistance of T&E.

ACEA request to see an example that shows that the formula from phase 1a gives the same results as before this change was introduced in the GTR.

Formula for delta E is used three times in the GTR. Two times with unit Mj and one time with Wh. The factor 0.0036 should only be used in the case of Mj.

Should be consistent. The preferred option is to use Mj and explain the factor with a unit. The group agrees on the proposed changes.

Shows an example with real test data with the Japanese proposal. The lines are not parallel. But according to Japan the current GTR includes the possibility for the manufacturer to develop phase specific corrections factor to replace single correction factor. The proposal is that phase specific values is not possible based on this example. Because it results in a deviation of up to 6 gCO2/km with the correction factor.

Japan will discuss these results internally. After that will come back with a position.

Also needs to discuss what accuracy that should be acceptable.

ACEA will perform more simulations to give more information to base the conclusion on.
