List of informal proposals under development within the WLTP informal group for possible submission to the January GRPE session.

Proposal for refinements to the text with regard to testing of electric vehicles under Annexes 4 and 8.

Proposal of amendments to document GRPE/2017/9 by the WLTP informal group for the January 2018 GRPE session (i.e., amendments to Amendment 3 of GTR 15 which was adopted (as document WP.29/2017/140) by WP.29 during its November 2017 session).

Status report of the task force working on the transposition of GTR 15 into a UN Regulation for use under type approval.

Draft letter intended for the UN Office of Legal Affairs to handle three planned series of amendments to the proposed UN Regulation transposing GTR 15 (WLTP) simultaneously. Normally, each series of amendments to a regulation must be implemented sequentially. In the case of WLTP, the informal group is proposing to use the series of amendment to implement stringency levels based upon regional needs (e.g., 00 series for the EU, the 01 series for Japan, and the 02 series as the most stringent set of requirements). The informal group is considering a request to handle this situation differently such that the 3 initial series would be implemented simultaneously, enabling future changes in regional stringency to proceed in a timely fashion (e.g., parallel development of new series based on regional objectives).

NO Consistency of Tyre RRC
3g/km Extension from Cal. ? or Test CO₂ value ?
How to develop f₀ and f₂ with fixed f₁ ?
Adjusted f_0,L and/or f_2,L are bigger than f_0,H and/or f_2,H ?
Huge Error when adjusting f_1,L to f_1,H

During discussion in WLTP/DTP, 40 CFR Part 1066 was not finalized yet. Therefore, the values from text in 2011 were used in GTR15. However, the value in CFR were changed to 1.0% from 0.5%. This changes were made to harmonize with other regulations and also because CH-DY manufacturers could not comply with this value.
