The main objective of this proposal is to establish an amendment to global technical regulation No. 2 on the Worldwide harmonized Motorcycle emissions Certification-test procedure (WMTC) to insert Environmental and Propulsion Performance Requirements (EPPR), currently only applicable for two-wheeled motorcycles. Should an amendment to GTR No. 2 be deemed inappropriate, alternatives including development of a new GTR will be considered.

The objectives also include development of requirements and/or test procedures to create synergies and uniform provisions with related 1958 Agreement UN Regulations, exchange information on current and future regulatory EPPR, e.g. for
“category 3 vehicles” or “L-category vehicles”, minimize differences between these regulatory EPPR, with the view to facilitate the development of light vehicles complying with such internationally harmonized requirements, and to assess coherence with other regulatory requirements and groups activities, such as those on Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedures (WLTP) and on Electric Vehicles and the Environment (EVE).
