Request to continue development, through a second phase following adoption of the current draft GTR, of the light vehicle emissions and fuel consumption test cycle in order to improve certain technical aspects in the current cycle.

Update by the chair of the subgroup on the development of UN R0 of the IWVTA informal group.

In order for the proposed new UN Regulation transposing the GTR on hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles into the 1958 Agreement to be applicable in Japan, the regulation needs to make clear that its scope does not include (i) the electrical safety of electric power train, (ii) the material compatibility and hydrogen embrittlement of the vehicle fuel system and (iii) the post-crash fuel system integrity in the event of full width frontal impact and rear impact. This allows Japanese national regulations to be applied even when accepting a vehicle type-approved under the UN Regulation.

Proposal to raise the voting threshold required under the 1958 Agreement to approve a given text (e.g., new UN Regulation or amendment of an existing regulation) from the present two-thirds majority (achievable by the EU vote alone) to a four-fifths majority.
