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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
