Draft agenda of the 76th session of the Informal Working Group WGWT scheduled for August 28th, 2026 on-line. The agenda includes welcome and opening remarks, adoption of the agenda, adoption of the minutes of the 75th session of 16 June 2026, review of work plan 2025-2026 for C1 tyres, review of IWG WGWT status report for GRBP 84th session of September 2026, and next meetings.
UN GTR No. 25 on In-vehicle Battery Durability for Electrified Heavy Duty Vehicles provides harmonised methods to determine battery durability performance of HD-PEVs and HD-OVC-HEVs of categories M1–M3 and N1–N3 exceeding 3,855 kg MPLM. The regulation requires manufacturers to install State of Certified Energy (SOCE) monitors throughout vehicle lifetime. In-use verification consists of Part A verification of monitor accuracy through measured UBE testing using Methods 1a, 1b, Method 2 (bidirectional power supply), or an alternative HDV chassis dynamometer method, with statistical pass/fail criteria. Part B verification assesses battery durability against optional Minimum Performance Requirements (MPRs) through remote SOCE data collection from sample vehicles. Part C verification, reserved for future amendment, will address reported virtual distance accuracy for V2X, PTO and non-traction purpose applications. Optional Annex 4 specifies MPRs by vehicle category and mass, ranging from 45–70% SOCE retention across specified timeframes and distances. The GTR entered into force with Phase 1 covering core durability assessment and data collection to support future refinement of MPR thresholds based on in-service field data relating to HDVs, referencing WP.29-170-31 and GRPE/2026/3.
UN GTR No. 22 on In-vehicle Battery Durability for Electrified Light Duty Vehicles establishes harmonized requirements for monitoring and verifying minimum battery durability performance of pure electric vehicles and off-vehicle charging hybrid electric vehicles of categories M1 and M2. Manufacturers must install State-of-Certified Energy (SOCE) and State-of-Certified Range (SOCR) monitors for the vehicle lifetime. Battery energy-based minimum performance requirements specify that vehicles of categories 1-1 and 1-2 must retain 80 per cent SOCE for 5 years or 100,000 km and 70 per cent for 8 years or 160,000 km; category 2 vehicles must retain 75 per cent and 65 per cent respectively. In-use verification comprises Part A verification of monitor accuracy using statistical methods, Part B verification of battery durability through remote data collection, and Part C verification of reported virtual distance. Manufacturers may declare higher performance requirements. Virtual distance may be reported for vehicles with Vehicle-to-Grid functionality or category 2 vehicles used for non-traction purposes.
Proposal to amend UN GTR No. 21 on system power determination:
The agenda for the Electric Vehicles and the Environment Informal Working Group 98th session scheduled for July 15, 2026, includes presentations on battery performance, discussions on UN GTR 21, UN GTR 22, and UN GTR 25 regulatory topics including minimum performance requirements, state of charge reference, readiness monitor and conditioning cycles, mutual recognition, fuel cell electric vehicles, highly integrated systems, energy throughput, normal usage indices, and battery replacement provisions. UN GTR 25 amendment 2 must be submitted to March 2027 GRPE with a December 2026 deadline.
The 53rd session of the Electromagnetic Compatibility IWG was held 1–2 July 2026 in Paris. The agenda addressed proposals for UN R10.08 and related standards, including standardized testing conditions for harmonics and flicker, radiated emission requirements at 1–6 GHz, blind spot detection immunity testing, and steer-by-wire failure criteria. Key decisions included establishing a small drafting group to develop 1–6 GHz requirements if CISPR D produces no usable results by end of 2026, postponing discussion of AC/DC charger proposals, tasking CLEPA and OICA to prepare a joint proposal on harmonics and flicker, and organizing a consolidated version of UN R10.07 with Supplements 1–3 for December 2026. Future sessions are scheduled through September 2027, with a face-to-face meeting proposed for November 2027 in Tokyo. Documents EMC-53-05, EMC-53-08, EMC-53-10, and EMC-53-11/Rev.1 were introduced during the session.
Minutes of the 75th session of the Informal Working Group WGWT held 16 June 2026 on-line. The agenda was adopted. Previous meeting minutes from the 73rd session (31 March 2026) and 74th session (19 May 2026) were adopted. WTPP secretary updated on testing activities status per document WT-75-2. ETRTO stated the agreed number of tests was a statistical minimum and IWG WGWT conclusions to GRBP must be based on complete test results. IWG WGWT agreed to await WTPP conclusions on outliers before deciding whether to keep the current number of tests or make additional tests. The co-chair stated a status report must be prepared for GRBP 84th session (September 2026) and suggested an IWG WGWT meeting days before GRBP. Next IWG WGWT meeting scheduled for 28 August 9:00–10:00 CET.
