Heavy Duty Dual Fuel Task Force proposal to modify the 05 series of amendments of UN Regulation No. 49 (Euro V) in order to extend the pollutant emission requirements to dual-fuel heavy duty engines and vehicles.

Proposal for a draft supplement to UN R115 or for a draft corrigendum to Supplement 5 to the regulation (reference document WP.29/2012/104). The amendment would replace FC_mean with FC_norm and provide an improved definition of the term.

25. Mr. Rijnders described the origin of this issue from previous GFV meetings and that the relatively simple definitional change that everyone has agreed to can be brought to the GRPE as a corrigendum to WP29 approved documents rather than as a supplement to the original regulation However, the GRPE secretariat indicated that it must be made as a supplement, which is procedurally more correct.

26. Mr. Piccolo further described that using the word ‘mean’ in the definition must be changed to ‘norm’ because each parent vehicle must be checked that it is using no more than 20% gasoline.

27. Mr. Rijnders will ask to make this document an informal document and then made into a Formal Document so it can be adopted at the next GRPE (January 2014).

Draft new Regulation on uniform provisions concerning the approval of specific LPG (liquefied petroleum gases) or NG (compressed natural gas/bio-methane/liquefied natural gas) dual fuel retrofit systems to be installed in heavy duty vehicles, agricultural and forestry tractors and non road mobile machinery equipped with Compression Ignition engines

3. Mr. Rijnders indicated that the minutes of the 27th GFV meeting represent a comprehensive discussion of the meeting. There are no comments and the minutes are adopted.
