GRPE/2015/12

Proposal to avoid a redundant correction of the measured engine power of supercharged and turbocharged engines fitted with a self-correcting system for ambient conditions such as temperature and altitude. The current correction factor may yield inaccurate results for such configurations.

24. The expert introduced GRPE-70-02 proposing amendments to Regulation No. 85 avoiding a duplicated correction of the measured engine power from supercharged and turbocharged engines, fitted with a system, which allows compensation for ambient conditions such as temperature and altitude. He added that this proposal was based on the corresponding amendment in Annex XX added to Regulation (EU) No. 136/2014.

25. The secretariat presented GRPE-70-03 introducing minor amendments to Regulation No. 85.
