This document is a consolidated text that includes the proposals of the GRPE working document GRPE/2014/12, the proposals of the informal document GRPE-69-07/Rev.1 and the comments to these documents as received from the contracting parties during GRPE 69 session.

Presentation on the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC), a government-sponsored global effort to reduce short-lived “climate pollutants” (initially focused on methane, black carbon, and hydrofluorocarbons).

Proposed amendments to the OICA text proposed in order to adapt certain requirements to the current state of technology and to transpose the latest decisions of the EU regarding OBD threshold limits.

Proposal to add text omitted during the preparation of working document GRPE/2014/12 (proposal to update requirements in line with the current state of technology and to transpose the latest decisions of the EU regarding OBD threshold limits).

Explanation and rationale for the proposal to update OBD threshold limits and align UN R49 with the latest EU OBD requirements.

The scope of EU Euro VI standards for heavy-duty vehicles has been expanded compared with Euro V. In order to prevent inconsistencies that could affect the ability to offer all vehicles for export, this proposal would apply the expanded scope retrospectively to the 05 series of amendments to UN R49. This proposal was adopted by the Working Party on Pollution and Energy (GRPE) at its 68th session based on document GRPE/2014/6, not amended.

Text prepared by the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) in order to adapt some requirements to the current state of technology and to transpose the latest decisions of the EU regarding OBD threshold limits.

Status report on the group’s current activities, including work on a new regulation covering heavy-duty dual-fuel retrofit systems.
