Proposal to clarify the procedures and requirements related to the selection of driving modes for testing of OVC-HEV vehicles with a mode selection switch.

Presentation of EUROMOT concerns regarding activities detrimental to the objectives of emissions-reduction legislation, including:

• design & sale of so-called ‘ad-blue emulators’ or other electronic devices that effectively turn-off NOx reduction systems,</li<>
• entities offering ECU reprogramming services to turn-off NOx reduction systems or diagnostics or increase engine performance, and
• entities offering after-treatment removal services.

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.

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

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

EC proposals regarding the OICA proposal on the UN R49.06 ECU torque signal validation requirement and dual-fuel or flex-fuel vehicles.

Request for guidance from Transport Malta regarding a request to fit vehicles with a device capable of generating hydrogen from water for use as fuel for in a combustion engine.

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

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.

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

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).

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.

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

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