Proposal to align UN R120 with the proposed 05 series of amendments to UN R96 (GRPE/2018/3).

Proposal to align UN R132 with the proposed 05 series of amendments to Regulation No. 96.

Document GRPE/2018/3 presents a consolidated revision of UN R96 to align the UN Regulation with Regulation (EU) 2016/162 concerning gaseous and particulate pollutant emission limits and type-approval for internal combustion engines for non-road mobile machinery. This proposal presents editorial improvements and corrects the provision allowing contracting parties to require in-service monitoring of engines by explicitly excluding its application from the scope of the Regulation.

Revised proposal from the WLTP informal group pursuant to GRPE-76 discussions for Amendment 4 under the Phase 2 development of GTR 15.

Revised proposal for Amendment 4 to GTR 15 from the WLTP informal group.

Revised proposal, superseding document GRPE/2018/5, to clarify the wording of the determination of the net power for electric motors and to correct an error in the formula presented in paragraph 5.4.2. Diesel engines – Factor αd. The parameter “f_m” in the equation should be a superscript (e.g., meaning “to the power of f_m”). Through a transcription error, this factor was rendered in normal text.

OICA request for clarification over whether the test results should reflect the energy (fuel and electric energy) used for vehicle propulsion or the energy used for vehicle propulsion and for energy conversion (recharging the battery – fuel energy to electric energy).

Proposal to align UN R24 (Compression Ignition Engines – Emission of Visible Pollutants – Power Measurement) with UN R85 with regard to correction factors.

OICA proposal to pursue gradual harmonization of heavy-duty vehicle fuel efficiency standards, beginning with an effort to define a uniform measurement procedure through a global technical regulation.

OICA proposal to explore the possibilities for harmonizing RDE procedures adopted around the world.

Updated proposal to adapt the 06 and 07 series of amendments to Regulation No. 83 to Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) warning and inducement systems to current vehicles, emissions requirements and reagent infrastructure. In light of further vehicle weight reduction for CO2 optimization and the resultant use of smaller AdBlue® reagent tanks, this proposal would allow for reagent refill inducement warnings as a percentage of tank capacity or as a function of the average driving range with a complete tank of fuel.

Proposal of amendments to:

1. align the definitions for bi-fuel vehicles align with the new definitions in UN GTR 15,
2. amend paragraph 5.3.1.2.4. to recognize that particulate pollutant emissions measurements are no longer limited to compression ignition vehicles,
3. amend paragraph 7.4.4.3. of Annex 7 to correct a typographical error,
4. amend paragraph 3.2.1.of Annex 8 to correct an error originating with UN R83 Revision 3 (2005),
5. amend paragraph 6.5.3.5. to correct a cross-reference error introduced in Amendment 1 (reference should read para. 6.5.3.3. rather than 6.5.3.2.) and should refer to the “annex” rather than the “appendix”.

Draft text of the amended motorcycle emissions GTR from the EPPR informal working group.

Amendment 1 to UN Global Technical Regulation No. 19 on Evaporative emission test procedure for the Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedures (WLTP EVAP) as approved by the Working Party on Pollution and Energy. The amendment will be considered for adoption during the June 2018 session of the World Forum.

Consolidated version of GTR 15 including the draft Amendment 4 as approved by the Working Party on Pollution and Energy. The amended GTR will be considered for adoption during the June 2018 World Forum session.

Proposal to modify the Constant Volume Sampling system temperature sensor time response requirement.

Proposal to allow the usage of WLTP-based Ki and Deterioration Factors (DF) as well as On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) demos under UN R101. The proposal allows the use of the more robust WLTP and eases testing burdens by allowing manufacturers to use WLTP test results for UN R101.

Proposal to explicitly specify requirements related to the selection of driving modes for testing of Off-Vehicle Charging Hybrid Electric Vehicles (OVC-HEV) with a mode selection switch.

Proposal to explicitly specify requirements related to the selection of driving modes for testing of Off-Vehicle Charging Hybrid Electric Vehicles (OVC-HEV) with a mode selection switch.

Proposal to clarify the fuel tank capacity restriction for mono-fuel gas vehicles. The definition of “mono-fuel gas vehicle” was slightly amended between the 06 and the 07 series of amendments to UN R83. This proposal aims to align the definitions across both series in order to avoid divergent interpretations.
Although the reference to a 15 liters tank has always been understood to refer to the nominal capacity of the tank, the use of the term “nominal capacity” in UN GTR No. 19 in several places other than the definition of “mono-fuel gas vehicle” can lead to other interpretations of the definition. The word “nominal” should therefore be inserted into the definition in both series of amendments.

Proposal to align UN R132 with the proposed 05 series of amendments to Regulation No. 96.

Proposal to clarify the draft text that would explicitly specify requirements related to the selection of driving modes for testing of Off-Vehicle Charging Hybrid Electric Vehicles (OVC-HEV) with a mode selection switch.
