Document specifies test requirements and conformity of production procedures for type approval of vehicles with various powertrain types including positive ignition engines, compression ignition engines, pure electric vehicles, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Establishes requirements for on-board fuel and/or energy consumption monitoring devices (OBFCM) to determine, store and make available data on fuel and electric energy consumption. Defines parameters to be monitored for different vehicle categories and fuel types, accuracy requirements for OBFCM devices with tolerance of -0.05 to 0.05, and access standards. Specifies that obligation to preserve lifetime counter values shall apply as of 1 January 2030 for Level 1A and Level 2 vehicles.

Proposal to amend Annex B4, para. 6.2.1. to specify that three vehicles selected by the responsible authority shall cover the range of vehicles planned to be measured, and that each change of range requires new selection, but original measurements can be re-used if a vehicle is reselected, and amend para. 6.2.4. to establish approval criteria requiring the difference in cycle energy between wind tunnel method and coastdown method to be within 0.05 for each of three vehicles and within 0.02 for arithmetic average, to require approval recording, to permit facility use for two years with extension every two years upon manufacturer evidence of modifications, measurement results at three-month intervals meeting repeatability and force measurement accuracy requirements, and to require separate approval for each roller chassis dynamometer or moving belt and wind tunnel combination and each combination of wind speeds used.

Devices for monitoring on-board vehicle consumption of fuel and/or electric energy shall determine and store lifetime values of fuel consumed, distance travelled, and energy parameters specified in Appendix 5. Type-approval requires testing per Table A according to vehicle category and fuel type, including Type 1 emissions tests, evaporative emissions tests, durability, OBD checks, and OBFCM accuracy verification. Manufacturers must ensure OBFCM accuracy between −0.05 and +0.05 calculated using specified formulae comparing WLTP-determined and OBFCM-measured consumption. Conformity of production requires periodic testing and audits. Lifetime counter values shall be preserved from 1 January 2029 for new vehicle types; from 1 January 2030, type approvals for non-compliant vehicles shall not be accepted. OBFCM devices must provide standardised, unrestricted access to information via specified ISO and SAE standards.
