Phase 2 scope included water immersion, fire resistance, REESS rotation and vibration, vented gas characterization, thermal propagation methods, post-crash safety assessment, light electric vehicles, charging protection, and overcurrent requirements. Unregulated areas for Phase 3 include V2X applications, swappable batteries, micromobility, and quantitative criteria on gas and smoke properties.

Proposal to establish a harmonized method for determining system power ratings of hybrid electric vehicles and pure electric vehicles with multiple propulsion energy converters. The GTR specifies two test procedures (TP1 and TP2) to measure power at defined reference points analogous to conventional engine output shafts. TP1 measures electrical power and estimated ICE power; TP2 measures torque and speed at axles or wheel hubs. The procedure identifies reference points based on powertrain architecture, requires manufacturers to provide verifiable K factors for energy conversion efficiency, specifies measurement accuracy requirements, and includes validation criteria. The GTR applies to vehicles in categories M₁–M₂ and N₁–N₂ with maximum laden mass not exceeding 3,500 kg, excluding fuel cell vehicles.

Technical report on the development of amendment 2 to UN GTR No. 21. The report describes the procedural background of the Informal Working Group on Electric Vehicle and the Environment (EVE), established in June 2012, and its subsequent work to develop a standalone UN GTR for determining electrified vehicle power. The report outlines revisions approved during 2022 and 2023, including deletion of Annex 3 reserved for a candidate method, addition of a family concept, definition of an additional TP1 method employing onboard signal distribution ratio, allowance of system bench testing for vehicles too powerful for chassis dynamometer testing, and adjustments to soak area temperature specifications, instrumentation requirements, and calculation tolerances.

Proposal to establish minimum performance requirements for in-vehicle battery durability of pure electric vehicles and off-vehicle charging hybrid electric vehicles, requiring manufacturers to install State-of-Certified Energy and State-of-Certified Range monitors, set minimum allowable SOCE values of 80% for categories 1-1 and 1-2 vehicles and 75% for category 2 vehicles at 5 years or 100,000 km (whichever comes first) and 70% and 65% respectively at 8 years or 160,000 km, implement a two-part in-use verification process to verify monitor accuracy and battery durability through statistical methods and remote data collection, allow manufacturers to declare higher performance requirements, and include verification of reported virtual distance for vehicles with V2X functionality or non-traction purposes.

Technical report on the development of Amendment 2 to UN GTR No. 22. The GTR establishes a harmonized methodology for in-vehicle battery durability through battery health monitoring and minimum performance requirements. Development involved defining state of certified energy and state of certified range metrics, establishing minimum performance requirement values, creating family definitions, developing statistical procedures for on-board monitor verification, and addressing vehicle-to-grid usage through virtual distance calculations. Phase 3 revisions included defining Part C family criteria for virtual distance monitor verification, boundary conditions for verification testing, and alignment with UN Regulations 154 and 83.

Proposal to establish harmonised methods for determining in-vehicle battery durability performance of heavy duty pure electric vehicles and heavy duty off-vehicle charging hybrid electric vehicles. The GTR introduces a State of Certified Energy monitor to track battery health over time, defines minimum performance requirements as optional provisions by contracting parties, and specifies in-use verification procedures in two parts: Part A verifies monitor accuracy through measurement of usable battery energy using four alternative test methods, and Part B verifies battery durability against minimum performance requirements through remote data collection from vehicle samples. Virtual distance calculations account for energy used in vehicle-to-grid, power take-off, and non-traction applications.

Technical report on the development of Amendment 1 to UN GTR No. 25 on in-vehicle battery durability for electrified heavy-duty vehicles. The GTR provides a harmonised methodology to monitor battery health over time and introduces minimum performance requirements for battery durability. Development involved approximately 29 IWG meetings over three years with 50 to 60 attendees. The framework centres on minimum performance requirements for in-vehicle batteries, readable on-board battery health monitors, in-use verification procedures, and data collection processes. Three test methods were adopted for measuring usable battery energy: discharge by driving on test track, discharge by driving on road, and discharge using bidirectional power supply system, plus an alternative chassis dynamometer method. The GTR includes an optional annex with minimum performance requirements based on state of certified energy.
