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

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”.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 allow the usage of WLTP-based Ki and Deterioration Factors (DF) as well as On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) demos under UN R83. The proposal allows the use of the more robust WLTP and eases testing burdens by allowing manufacturers to use WLTP test results for UN R83.

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

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

Proposal for changes to the draft new Supplement to the 06 and 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 83.

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.
