Proposal to amend UN GTR No. 21 on system power determination:

• Establish a globally harmonized test procedure comparable to traditional engine power ratings for conventional vehicles,
• specify TP1 based on measured electrical power and estimated internal combustion engine power with electrical conversion efficiency factors,
• specify TP2 based on measured torque and speed at axle shafts or wheel hubs with mechanical conversion efficiency factors,
• require manufacturers to provide verifiable K conversion factors,
• remove dynamometer roller measurement options for TP2 in favor of torque and speed sensors or hub dynamometers,
• mandate fuel flow rate measurement for TP1,
• introduce the reference point concept to ensure comparable results across powertrain architectures,
• require five test repetitions with averaging of the last four,
• add applicability guidelines limiting TP1 or TP2 to specific architectures based on power flow characteristics,
• establish approval criteria for system bench facilities as alternatives to chassis or hub dynamometers in a new Annex 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.

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.
