Draft meeting minutes from the 44th session of the Informal Working Group on Automotive Life Cycle Assessment. The IWG decided not to submit the draft Mutual Resolution to GRPE for adoption owing to lack of consensus on methodological provisions. The group agreed to maintain the IWG with reduced activity intensity, focusing on information and technical exchange with the consolidated draft as baseline document. A one-year extension of the mandate was proposed. OICA and CLEPA presented industry guidelines for LCA of passenger cars and parts, addressing electricity modelling and the representative-vehicle concept.
Draft agenda for the 77th EPPR Informal Working Group Meeting on Environmental and Propulsion Performance Requirements of L-category vehicles, scheduled for 24 November 2026, online. The agenda includes adoption of the previous meeting’s report, discussion of transposition of UN-GTR 2 into UN-Regulation 40 with updates from a dedicated Task Force, and information exchange on possible future activities including maximum power determination, battery electric vehicle range determination standardization, and deterioration factors in GTR 23 on durability.
Draft report of the 76th EPPR meeting held on 13 October 2026. The agenda and minutes of the 75th meeting were adopted. The Task Force on transposition of UN-GTR 2 into UN-R40 presented its progress report from its first meeting on 9 October, agreeing to use IMMA’s June 2026 draft as the basis for developing the 03 series of amendments to UN-R40 corresponding to Euro 4 level. The group exchanged information on maximum power determination, battery electric vehicle range determination standardization, and deterioration factors in GTR 23 on durability. Germany presented observations on periodic emissions testing for Euro 5+ motorcycles regarding OBD port access and lambda measurement difficulties.
