JRC position accepting the NHTSA views (document EVSTF-06-07) on the state-of-charge levels prior to testing (i.e., 95% for externally charged systems and 90% for fuel cell vehicles) and openness to revised language related to the draft “48-hour elapsed time prior to testing” provision.

Update on the Euro 5 effect study initiated to validate the emissions requirements established by Regulation EU No. 168/2013 and Regulation EU No. 134/2014, evaluate the air quality and share of pollutants contributed by L-category vehicles (under test types I to VIII), and assess the feasibility of further post-Euro 5 development of off-cycle emissions and particle number testing and in-service verification requirements.

Review of conclusions from the first phase of the Euro 5 Effect Study.

This document summarizes data and information gathered by the JRC relevant to the risks of flooding (e.g., passing through standing water) to electric vehicles, in particular with regard to conditions found within the European Union, towards reaching an agreement on test conditions under the GTR.

EC JRC views on the regulatory text proposed by the US concerning battery management system functionality (document EVS-09-05) and based upon the US draft sequential testing protocol (document EVS-06-36) which addresses the following tests:

• Extreme temperature protection (failed cooling and heating systems)
• Over-discharge protection
• Over-current and over-voltage overcharge protection
• External short circuit protection
