60th GRPE session (7-11
Jun 2010)
42. GRPE noted a brief report (GRPE-60-21) by the expert from India, chairing the informal group on Environmentally Friendly Vehicles (EFV), about the progress made by the informal group at its sixth meeting held in Geneva, on 15 January 2010. The informal group was expected to meet after the GRPE session proper and to consider a number of working papers on a single score evaluation such as CO2 emissions, noise level, gaseous pollutants, the recyclability and type of fuels. Detailed information on these parameters is available at: http://www.unece.org/trans/main/wp29/wp29wgs/wp29grpe/efv07.html. 43. The group agreed to refer the noise issues (EFV-07-05) for detailed consideration to the Working Party on Noise. Referring to the EFV feasibility statement (GRPE-58-02 and GRPE-58-03), the expert from OICA did not agree with the single score evaluation concept. He preferred to follow the integrated well-to-wheels approach as initially agreed in the feasibility study. 44. A number of experts were of the opinion that the future EFV concept document should include a more general part (e.g. preamble) with provisions for the well-to-tank approach and a more detailed part (e.g. regulation, recommendation) with technical specifications (such as the single score concept) for the tank-to-wheel approach focusing on the construction of EFV and their environmental performance. 45. The GRPE Chairman suggested that the informal group should again meet in conjunction with the next session of GRPE in January 2011 (see para. 57 below). To be held on Friday afternoon, 14 January 2011, from 2.30 p.m. till 5.30 p.m. The agenda of the meeting will be prepared by the EFV secretariat and distributed to the members of the group prior to the meeting. This meeting will be held without interpretation. |

60th GRPE session (7-11
Jun 2010)
6. Referring to the discussion of the previous session, GRPE agreed with the request by the expert from India to add the following sentences to paragraph 12 of the GRPE report ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/59: “India recommended that in addition to the “hardware in the loop (HILS)”, there should be an option for carrying out the test on a chassis dynamometer used for type approval purposes. The expert from the Netherlands expressed a similar view.” 7. The Chairman of the informal group on Heavy Duty Hybrids (HDH) reported on the work progress made by the group at its first and second meetings. He introduced a proposal for the terms of reference and rules of procedures for the HDH group (GRPE-60-11). GRPE adopted the term of references and rules of procedures as reproduced in Annex III to this report. Detailed information is available on the GRPE website at: http://www.unece.org/trans/main/wp29/wp29wgs/wp29grpe/hd-hybrids02.html. 8. The expert from EC presented GRPE-60-12 regarding the objectives and the time line to set up an emission test procedures for heavy duty hybrid vehicles which finally would be established as an amendment to gtr No. 4 (WHDC). GRPE agreed with the proposal to develop an amendment to gtr No. 4 and requested the secretariat to distribute GRPE-60-12 with an official symbol for consideration by WP.29 and AC.3 at their November 2010 sessions. The expert from Japan underlined the importance of this subject and announced the preparedness of his government to co-sponsor this activity together with the European Union. 9. GRPE noted the intention of the HDH group to possibly meet again in October 2010. The GRPE Chair recommended that the informal group on HDH should also meet prior to the next session of GRPE (see para. 57 below). He volunteered to inform WP.29 and AC.3, at their June 2010 sessions, about the progress made by the HDH group. Annex III GRPE informal group on Heavy Duty Hybrids A. Terms of reference 1. The objective of the informal group on Heavy Duty Hybrids (HDH) is to establish an amendment to global technical regulation (gtr) No. 4 (WHDC) with respect to pollutant emissions and CO2 emission from heavy duty hybrids under the 1998 Global Agreement. The informal group will also consider if the scope of gtr No. 4 is appropriate or if a separate gtr should be considered. The group shall report to GRPE on its conclusions on this matter at the sixty-first session of GRPE in January 2011. 2. The informal group shall investigate the Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation (HILS) approach, which starts from a vehicle cycle and simulates powertrain and vehicle components to result in a hybrid specific engine cycle for pollutant emissions and CO2 testing and measurement, and which is based on the test cell environment, data evaluation procedures and emissions calculations specified in gtr No. 4. The engine cycle (speed/load pattern) created by HILS will be verified against the engine cycle resulting from a chassis dynamometer test. 3. As a starting point, the vehicle speed pattern of the World Harmonized Vehicle Cycle (WHVC) will be used. 4. Modifications to the WHVC with respect to using subsets of the cycle in combination with appropriate weighting or scaling factors will be investigated for specific hybrid vehicle designs (e.g. city buses). 5. The final procedure shall result in outputs that are quantifiable, verifiable, and reproducible and that provide a method for assessing real world compliance broadly and on a case by case basis, shall be capable of incorporating updated information and new data to produce the most accurate outputs, and shall be appropriately transparent as to allow governmental entities the latitude to easily assess its performance and ensure accuracy and a level playing field. 6. During the course of this work the feasibility of a chassis dynamometer based emission test procedure will be assessed as an alternative to HILS. The result of this activity will be reported to GRPE. 7. The informal group shall submit to GRPE for consideration, at its sixty-first session in January 2011 the milestones, the roadmap and the necessary budget for step 1 of the future work program. 8. The informal group shall submit the final report on the investigation on HILS for consideration to GRPE at its sixty-fifth session in January 2013. 9. The target completion date for the work of the informal group on HILS shall be the 163rd session of WP.29 in June 2014. 10. This target completion date and the necessity of a chassis dynamometer test as a second step will be reviewed by WP.29 at its 160th session in June 2013, taking into account the assessment by GRPE of the final report on HILS. B. Rules of procedure 1. The informal group is open to all participants of GRPE. A limitation of the number of participants from any country and organization to participate in the informal group is actually not foreseen. A Chairperson and a Secretary will manage the informal group. 2. The working language of the informal group will be English. 3. All documents and/or proposals shall be submitted to the Secretary of the group in a suitable electronic format, preferably in line with the UNECE guidelines in advance of the meetings. The group may refuse to discuss any item or proposal which has not been circulated at least 5 working days in advance of the scheduled meeting. 4. An agenda and related documents will be circulated to all members of the informal group in advance of all scheduled meetings. 5. The work process will be developed by consensus. When consensus cannot be reached, the Chairperson of the informal group shall present the different points of view to GRPE. The Chairperson may seek guidance from GRPE, as appropriate. 6. The progress of the informal group will be routinely reported to GRPE orally or as an informal document by the Chairperson or the Secretary. 7. All working documents shall be distributed in digital format. A specific website of the GRPE informal group on HDH will be created and the URL will be noticed to all related parties. 5. GRPE noted that no further information was given under this agenda item and agreed to keep this subject on the agenda of its next session. 10. The expert from the Netherlands, chairing the informal group on Retrofit Emission Control devices (REC), reported on the fruitful discussion of the group during its first meeting held in Geneva, on 7 June 2010. He presented the draft terms of reference and rules of procedures of the new informal group (GRPE-60-02-Rev.1). GRPE noted a number of study reservations. Following the discussion, GRPE adopted the revised term of references and rules of procedures (GRPE-60-02-Rev.2) of the informal group on REC as reproduced in Annex IV to this report. Detailed information is available on the GRPE website at: http://www.unece.org/trans/main/wp29/wp29wgs/wp29grpe/rec01.html. 11.

A number of experts were of the opinion that the future EFV concept document should include a more general part (e.g. preamble) with provisions for the well-to-tank approach and a more detailed part (e.g. regulation, recommendation) with technical specifications (such as the single score concept) for the tank-to-wheel approach focusing on the construction of EFV and their environmental performance. 45. The GRPE Chairman suggested that the informal group should again meet in conjunction with the next session of GRPE in January 2011 (see para. 57 below). To be held on Friday afternoon, 14 January 2011, from 2.30 p.m. till 5.30 p.m. The agenda of the meeting will be prepared by the EFV secretariat and distributed to the members of the group prior to the meeting. This meeting will be held without interpretation. |

The objective of the informal group on Heavy Duty Hybrids (HDH) is to establish an amendment to global technical regulation (gtr) No. 4 (WHDC) with respect to pollutant emissions and CO2 emission from heavy duty hybrids under the 1998 Global Agreement. The informal group will also consider if the scope of gtr No. 4 is appropriate or if a separate gtr should be considered. The group shall report to GRPE on its conclusions on this matter at the sixty-first session of GRPE in January 2011. 2. The informal group shall investigate the Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation (HILS) approach, which starts from a vehicle cycle and simulates powertrain and vehicle components to result in a hybrid specific engine cycle for pollutant emissions and CO2 testing and measurement, and which is based on the test cell environment, data evaluation procedures and emissions calculations specified in gtr No. 4. The engine cycle (speed/load pattern) created by HILS will be verified against the engine cycle resulting from a chassis dynamometer test. 3. As a starting point, the vehicle speed pattern of the World Harmonized Vehicle Cycle (WHVC) will be used. 4. Modifications to the WHVC with respect to using subsets of the cycle in combination with appropriate weighting or scaling factors will be investigated for specific hybrid vehicle designs (e.g. city buses). 5. The final procedure shall result in outputs that are quantifiable, verifiable, and reproducible and that provide a method for assessing real world compliance broadly and on a case by case basis, shall be capable of incorporating updated information and new data to produce the most accurate outputs, and shall be appropriately transparent as to allow governmental entities the latitude to easily assess its performance and ensure accuracy and a level playing field. 6. During the course of this work the feasibility of a chassis dynamometer based emission test procedure will be assessed as an alternative to HILS. The result of this activity will be reported to GRPE. 7. The informal group shall submit to GRPE for consideration, at its sixty-first session in January 2011 the milestones, the roadmap and the necessary budget for step 1 of the future work program. 8. The informal group shall submit the final report on the investigation on HILS for consideration to GRPE at its sixty-fifth session in January 2013. 9. The target completion date for the work of the informal group on HILS shall be the 163rd session of WP.29 in June 2014. 10. This target completion date and the necessity of a chassis dynamometer test as a second step will be reviewed by WP.29 at its 160th session in June 2013, taking into account the assessment by GRPE of the final report on HILS. B. Rules of procedure 1. The informal group is open to all participants of GRPE. A limitation of the number of participants from any country and organization to participate in the informal group is actually not foreseen. A Chairperson and a Secretary will manage the informal group. 2. The working language of the informal group will be English. 3. All documents and/or proposals shall be submitted to the Secretary of the group in a suitable electronic format, preferably in line with the UNECE guidelines in advance of the meetings. The group may refuse to discuss any item or proposal which has not been circulated at least 5 working days in advance of the scheduled meeting. 4. An agenda and related documents will be circulated to all members of the informal group in advance of all scheduled meetings. 5. The work process will be developed by consensus. When consensus cannot be reached, the Chairperson of the informal group shall present the different points of view to GRPE. The Chairperson may seek guidance from GRPE, as appropriate. 6. The progress of the informal group will be routinely reported to GRPE orally or as an informal document by the Chairperson or the Secretary. 7. All working documents shall be distributed in digital format. A specific website of the GRPE informal group on HDH will be created and the URL will be noticed to all related parties. |

39. The expert from the Netherlands, chairing the informal group on Mobile Air-Conditioning Test Procedures (MACTP), reported on the good progress made by the group during its first meeting held in Geneva, on 8 June 2010. He introduced GRPE-60-15-Rev.1 proposing the draft terms of reference and rules of procedures of the informal group. GRPE noted a number of comments. GRPE adopted the term of references and rules of procedures of the informal group on MACTP as reproduced in Annex VII to this report. Detailed information about the group’s activities is available on the GRPE website at: http://www.unece.org/trans/main/wp29/wp29wgs/wp29grpe/mactp01.html. Annex VII GRPE informal group on Mobil Air-Conditioning Test Procedures A. Terms of reference The European Union (EU) is currently developing a test procedure for CO2 and pollutant emissions generated by the use of Mobil Air-Conditioning systems (MAC), which should be implemented for regulatory purposes as soon as possible. While during an initial phase results from this test procedure may just be used for consumer information, at a latter stage also minimum requirements for the performance of MAC may be mandated. Consequently, an informal working group on the development of mobile air-conditioning test procedures “MACTP” for M1 and N1 vehicles has been established with the following tasks: 1. Accompany as an active stakeholder the EU developments of test procedures suitable for type approval assessing the energy efficiency of MAC operation in a vehicle and its impact on vehicle emissions in order to ensure that also non-EU Contracting Parties are informed about and can contribute to the EU work; 2. Sharing of information and experience on MAC test procedures with all other GRPE participants, such as the United States of America, Japan, India, China and Korea; 3. After completion of a draft MAC test procedure within the EU, presumably in the second half of 2010, the informal group on MACTP should review it and prepare its integration into Regulation No. 101 and Regulation No. 83, Annex 4. The group may consider, at a later stage, the transposition of the developed procedure into a global technical regulation (gtr) under the 1998 Agreement. The work of the group on the MAC test procedure should be completed by January 2012. A prolongation and extension of the mandate of the group, e.g. in relation to the performance of in-vehicle heating systems (for hybrid and electric vehicles) should be considered in due time by GRPE. The work by MACTP should not prevent the regulatory implementation of MAC test procedures by Contracting Parties at an earlier stage. B. Rules of Procedure 1. The informal group is open to all participants of GRPE. A limitation of number of participants from any country and organization to participate in the informal group is actually not foreseen. 2. A Chair and a Secretary (supported by a Co-Secretary) will manage the informal group. 3. The working language of the informal group will be English. 4. All documents and/or proposals shall be submitted to the Secretary and Co- Secretary of the group in a suitable electronic format, preferably in line with the UNECE guidelines in advance of the meetings. The group may refuse to discuss any item or proposal which has not been circulated 5 working days in advance of the scheduled meeting. 5. The informal group shall meet regularly at the GRPE meetings in Geneva. Additional meetings will be organized upon demand. 6. An agenda and related documents will be circulated to all members of the informal group in advance of all scheduled meetings. 7. The work process will be developed by consensus. When consensus cannot be reached, the Chair of the informal group shall present the different points of view to GRPE. The Chair may seek guidance from GRPE as appropriate. 8. The progress of the informal group will be routinely reported to GRPE orally or as an informal document by the Chair or the Secretary. 9. All working documents shall be distributed in digital format. A specific MACTP section on the UNECE website will be created and the URL will be noticed to all related parties. |

15. The Chairman of the informal group on the Particle Measurement Programme (PMP) reported on the progress made by the group with regard to the heavy duty validation exercise and Round Robin tests (GRPE-60-16). He recommended that the laboratories should monitor and manage the tunnel background and that the sample flow extraction for particle number should be corrected in case of the partial flow dilution system and the particulate mass measurement method. He added that a higher variability of the World harmonized Steady state Cycle (WHSC) was needed too. GRPE endorsed the recommendations and conclusions by the informal group on PMP. 16. GRPE noted the final report on the results of the heavy duty inter-laboratory correlation exercise (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2010/9). 17. The PMP Chairman introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2010/7 and GRPE-60-08 proposing to insert particle number measurement procedures into Regulations No. 49. GRPE adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2010/7 as amended by Annex V (download the session report from the “Documents” section to see this Annex) to this report. The secretariat was requested to submit the adopted proposal to WP.29 and AC.1, for consideration at their November 2010 sessions, as Supplement 4 to the 05 series of amendments to Regulation No. 49. 18. The expert from the United Kingdom presented a proposal to clarify, correct and update elements of the provisions of Annex 4a to Regulation No. 83 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2010/8). GRPE adopted the document, not amended, and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1, for consideration at their November 2010 sessions, as Corrigendum to Supplement 7 to the 05 series of amendments to Regulation No. 83. 19. The expert from EC underlined that the same corrections reproduced in ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2010/8 would apply to the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 83, which had recently been adopted by WP.29 at its March 2010 session on the basis of documents ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2009/57 and Corr.1, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2009/134 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2010/56. GRPE invited the secretariat to also prepare the above corrections as Corrigendum 1 to the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 83, for consideration by WP.29 and AC.1 at their November 2010 sessions. 20. The GRPE Chairman invited the PMP group to meet again prior to the next session of GRPE (see para. 57 below) in January 2011. To be held on Wednesday afternoon, 12 January 2011, from 4.00 p.m. till 5.30 p.m. The agenda of the meeting will be prepared by the PMP secretariat and distributed to the members of the group prior to the meeting. |

The expert from the United States of America announced that his government had recently reviewed the national priorities and that, accordingly, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) could no longer accomplish their commitments on the development of the draft gtr on WLTP. She mentioned that EPA had decided to withdraw their active participation and sponsorship in the development of the new gtr on WLTP for a time period of about 18 months. She added that her colleagues were nevertheless committed to ensure, over the next few months, a smooth transition of their leadership roles. GRPE noted with deep regret this decision by the United States of America. 29. The expert from EC underlined the importance to continue the development of the new emission test cycle on WLTP. He urged all other stakeholders to continue their commitments and to stick to the original time line. Following the discussion, GRPE agreed to continue the process of development of the gtr and invited Contracting Parties to commit additional efforts in order to keep the initial time line for establishing the gtr on WLTP. 30. The GRPE Chairman announced his intention to inform WP.29 and AC.3, at their June 2010 sessions, of the circumstances in the development of the gtr on WLTP. With 31.

42. GRPE noted a brief report (GRPE-60-21) by the expert from India, chairing the informal group on Environmentally Friendly Vehicles (EFV), about the progress made by the informal group at its sixth meeting held in Geneva, on 15 January 2010. The informal group was expected to meet after the GRPE session proper and to consider a number of working papers on a single score evaluation such as CO2 emissions, noise level, gaseous pollutants, the recyclability and type of fuels. Detailed information on these parameters is available at: http://www.unece.org/trans/main/wp29/wp29wgs/wp29grpe/efv07.html. 43. The group agreed to refer the noise issues (EFV-07-05) for detailed consideration to the Working Party on Noise. Referring to the EFV feasibility statement (GRPE-58-02 and GRPE-58-03), the expert from OICA did not agree with the single score evaluation concept. He preferred to follow the integrated well-to-wheels approach as initially agreed in the feasibility study. 44. A number of experts were of the opinion that the future EFV concept document should include a more general part (e.g. preamble) with provisions for the well-to-tank approach and a more detailed part (e.g. regulation, recommendation) with technical specifications (such as the single score concept) for the tank-to-wheel approach focusing on the construction of EFV and their environmental performance. 45. The GRPE Chairman suggested that the informal group should again meet in conjunction with the next session of GRPE in January 2011 (see para. 57 below). To be held on Friday afternoon, 14 January 2011, from 2.30 p.m. till 5.30 p.m. The agenda of the meeting will be prepared by the EFV secretariat and distributed to the members of the group prior to the meeting.
