This document addresses the need to align Regulation No.115 to the Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 , supplementing Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council on type-approval of motor vehicles with respect to emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 5 and Euro 6) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information, amending Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, Commission Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 and Commission Regulation (EU) No 1230/2012 and repealing Commission Regulation (EC) No 692/2008.

This document addresses the need to align Regulation No.115 to the new WLTC test cycle, defined in the GTR 15 and in the Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 and later modifications.

Proposal to align UN R115 with the GTR No. 15 WLTC test cycle.

This proposal amends UN Regulation No. 115 to list conditions, especially with regard to retrofit systems, to be met by indirect and direct injection vehicles to be considered as belonging to the same vehicle family. Gasoline direct injection vehicles which operate in indirect gas injection mode should be listed in the same family as indirect gasoline injection vehicles, as the applied gas injection technology is the same and provided that at least one such vehicle is tested as parent vehicle according to the requirements of this Regulation.
