Proposal addressing the conversion of NEDC road load to WLTP road load in cases where the former has already been determined.

Proposal to clarify that the E10 reference fuel may still be used at the worst case for the Type IV test.

Proposal to improve the text of provisions introduced in Amendment 3 to UN GTR No.4.

Proposal to correct errors and clarify provisions based on requirements introduced in the Amendment 6 to UN GTR No. 15.

Proposal to correct errors and clarify provisions based on requirements introduced in the Amendment 6 to UN GTR No. 15.

Proposal suggests that 2 new series of amendments are necessary: 83.08 to cover ISC for the WLTP Test and 83.09 to add ISC for the new UNR „RDE“ (which also has no ISC requirements) because Contracting Parties should be free to apply UNR 154 and UNR "RDE“, each with or without ISC without connection
A Contracting Party applying UNR 154 and UNR 83.08 but not UNR "RDE“ would be obliged to conduct or at least monitor RDE ISC in the absence of 83.09

This proposal aims at harmonizing the text of UN Regulation No. 83 and UN Regulation No. 101. Furthermore, one error was found in the formulas used for the calculation of a NEDC road load values from those determined according to UN GTR No. 15 (WLTP) and one wrong cross reference in the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 101.
1. Harmonization of UN Regulation No. 83 (Annex 4a, Appendix 7b, paragraph 1.) and UN Regulation No. 101 (Annex 7, Appendix 2, paragraph 1.); in Annex 7, Appendix 2, paragraph 1. Vehicles in general are not approved according to UN GTR No. 15, therefore the text phrase of UN R83 is recommended.
2. Correction of wrong reference to Annex 4 instead of Annex 7 of UN GTR No.15; in Annex 7, Appendix 2, paragraph 2.1.(b).
3. When copying the methodology from EU regulation, a ‘.’ was wrongly introduced instead of a ‘-‘ in the formula.

Proposal to amend Annex 7 – Appendix 2 paragraph 1., to provide the road load power calculation method that may be used

Proposal identifies 2 concerns:
“Coasting“ – Coasting is defined in GTR 15 and UNR 154 and must be deactivated for testing, may raise concerns for the approval of many hybrid vehicles and for conventional vehicles with modern start stop systems.
“Single roller dynamometer in 4WD operation“ – This combination is forbidden by GTR 15 and UNR 154 for the Type 1
test. There appears to be no reason for this ban (restraint systems must meet requirements for all configurations) other than an assumption that the configuration is not used for type 1 testing

Proposes a shortened Test Procedure NEDC for PEV and alternative for conformity of procedure.

The presentation supports the proposal for a Shortened Test Procedure NEDC for PEV acc. to WLTP (including adding PEV COP procedure alternative).

Proposes updates and amendments to proposal to introduce new requirements relating to Auxiliary Emission Strategies, cold engine starts and the use of Portable Emissions Measurement Systems (PEMS) to measure particle numbers

Proposes the modifications (essentially corrections of mistakes) are derived from the text of document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2021/7 from Japan, related to UN GTR 04, as modified by Informal Document GRPE- 82-09

Proposal makes changes to take into consideration the availability of gases for flame ionization detectors and the linearization of the gas analyzer.
UN R49 defines no linearity requirements for humidity sensors. As the humidity content of the intake air is an essential measure for the calculation of the specific exhaust emission, it is important to add requirement for humidity sensor (Reference: ISO 16183 the accuracy of the absolute humidity shall be +- 5%).

As the gas divider is a necessary tool to verify the linearization of the gas analyzer it is mandatory that the deviation of the gas divider is lower than that of the instrument under test. In combination with a calibration gas which has an accuracy of 1 % and a gas divider, which has an accuracy of 1 % it is only possible to reach a guaranteed analyzer accuracy of 2 %.

In the automotive industry Helium is used as so fuel gas for flame ionization detectors (FID) to measure Hydrocarbon emissions. In the FID fuel gas Helium is mixed with Hydrogen in a ratio of 40 % H2 and 60 % He. The annual fluctuations of the helium global market lead to an insufficient supply with FID fuel gas, like happened lately during summer 2018. In order to prevent the industry from the fluctuations of the global helium market, the US legislation reacted already in 2014 and allowed the usage of Nitrogen as batch gas for the FID fuel gas.

Proposes to amend the scope to clarify that UN R 49-06 series engine certification (corresponding to Euro VI) have no smoke and does not include the certification according to UN Regulation 24.

EPPR IWG proposes to draft the UN GTR on durability based upon the European Regulation No. 168/2013 and its supplementing regulations (Euro 5) to provide test procedures and requirements for the durability of after-treatment devices.

Proposal by IWG EVE (Electric Vehicles and the Environment) of the draft text for a new UN GTR on in-vehicle battery durability for electrified vehicles.

Compares terminology between M.R. 2 in comparison to UN GTR15

This proposal from IWG PMP is based on the PN measurement procedure laid down in UN R49 but should be considered exclusively a technical working document. The purpose of this document is only to discuss within the PMP group the changes/additions needed to modify the PN cut-off size from 23 to approximately 10 nm and to include raw exhaust sampling

This explanatory note by IWG PMP, updates on the proposals for solid particle number (SPN) measurements for the type approval of heavy-duty engines. The explanatory note addresses (i) the changes to the current SPN23 methodology, (ii) the proposed changes for the second alternative option to extend the particle size detection range to 10 nm particles, (iii) the proposed changes to allow direct SPN sampling with fixed dilution ratio.
