Please note, the OICA document apparently makes an erroneous reference to EVS-15-44.

OICA questions in response to EVS action item 2: “All members identify specific questions in the white paper to contracting parties for agreement in order to continue with research.”

Proposal to

1. clarify that the speed range of 0-20 km/h applies to UN R138, but does not preclude the AVAS from operating a speeds above 20 km/h (para. 6.2);
2. delete subparagraphs under para. 6.2.6. that should have been removed when the 01 series of amendments prohibited driver-operated pause functions;
3. split the specifications for para. “2.2. Meteorological conditions” under Annex 3 to address indoor and outdoor testing separately for clarity and to avoid unnecessary requirements in each case.

Pursuant to the GRB-67 discussions, OICA proposes to restrict the application of the partial load driving to pure electric vehicles in order to facilitate adoption of document GRB/2018/2 while allowing the ASEP informal group to further consider the proposed formulas for the ASEP anchor point.

Proposal to

1. exempt hybrid vehicles that do not provide valid test results (e.g., internal combustion engine active under test conditions)
2. clarify the text concerning permissible AVAS operating conditions
to differentiate indoor and outdoor facility requirements (e.g., weather station requirement) and
3. update flowcharts in Annex 3 in line with text.

Proposal to define specifications for the design and operation of external status indicators for Vehicle Alarm Systems (VAS), Alarm Systems (AS) and immobilizers under UN R48 pursuant to provisions of UN R97 and R116.

Comments on the proposal from Germany and Italy for the 07 series of amendments to UN R48 and for Supplement 20 to UN R87.

Proposal to improve the text regarding LED substitute light sources. ( “If a LED substitute light source is approved to be used in a lamp installed on a vehicle type, a declaration shall be made in the communication form.”)

Proposal to delete the draft provisions that would limit the reduction of luminous intensity levels to conditions where the vehicle speed is below 20 km/h and the distance to the following vehicle(s) is less than 20 m.

Request to GRE and the SLR informal group to give consideration to transitional provisions.

Proposal to clarify the procedures and requirements related to the selection of driving modes for testing of OVC-HEV vehicles with a mode selection switch.

Proposal to clarify the procedures and requirements related to the selection of driving modes for testing of OVC-HEV vehicles with a mode selection switch.

OICA proposal to explore the possibilities for harmonizing RDE procedures adopted around the world.

OICA proposal to pursue gradual harmonization of heavy-duty vehicle fuel efficiency standards, beginning with an effort to define a uniform measurement procedure through a global technical regulation.

Proposal to align UN R24 (Compression Ignition Engines – Emission of Visible Pollutants – Power Measurement) with UN R85 with regard to correction factors.

OICA request for clarification over whether the test results should reflect the energy (fuel and electric energy) used for vehicle propulsion or the energy used for vehicle propulsion and for energy conversion (recharging the battery – fuel energy to electric energy).

Revised proposal, superseding document GRPE/2018/5, to clarify the wording of the determination of the net power for electric motors and to correct an error in the formula presented in paragraph 5.4.2. Diesel engines – Factor αd. The parameter “f_m” in the equation should be a superscript (e.g., meaning “to the power of f_m”). Through a transcription error, this factor was rendered in normal text.

Presentation proposing to amend obsolete footnotes regarding the particulate number emissions limits applicable depending upon the reference fuel selected for the test procedure.

Proposal to introduce an alternative test method for measuring charge-air-cooled engines net power for use with high power engines of those. The proposal would “decrease the charge air cooler outlet temperature by the same amount that the ambient conditions for the vehicle test varied from the standard temperature” in line with SAE J1349, “9.3 Application of Vehicle Transient Data to Net Power Test.”

Explanation of the proposal (GRPE/2018/19) to align UN R24 (Compression Ignition Engines – Emission of Visible Pollutants – Power Measurement) with UN R85 with regard to correction factors.

OICA changes to its proposal to modify the Constant Volume Sampling system temperature sensor time response requirement.

Proposal to clarify the fuel tank capacity restriction for mono-fuel gas vehicles. The definition of “mono-fuel gas vehicle” was slightly amended between the 06 and the 07 series of amendments to UN R83. This proposal aims to align the definitions across both series in order to avoid divergent interpretations.
Although the reference to a 15 liters tank has always been understood to refer to the nominal capacity of the tank, the use of the term “nominal capacity” in UN GTR No. 19 in several places other than the definition of “mono-fuel gas vehicle” can lead to other interpretations of the definition. The word “nominal” should therefore be inserted into the definition in both series of amendments.

Proposal to explicitly specify requirements related to the selection of driving modes for testing of Off-Vehicle Charging Hybrid Electric Vehicles (OVC-HEV) with a mode selection switch.

Proposal to allow the usage of WLTP-based Ki and Deterioration Factors (DF) as well as On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) demos under UN R83. The proposal allows the use of the more robust WLTP and eases testing burdens by allowing manufacturers to use WLTP test results for UN R83.

Proposal to allow the usage of WLTP-based Ki and Deterioration Factors (DF) as well as On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) demos under UN R101. The proposal allows the use of the more robust WLTP and eases testing burdens by allowing manufacturers to use WLTP test results for UN R101.
