European Commission working draft for a GTR to evaluate the propulsion performance of two- and three-wheeled light vehicles:

• maximum design vehicle speed; a test procedure comprising of repeated test runs over a defined distance on a test track or road to determine the maximum speed a vehicle is able to attain under standard conditions;
• net torque, net power; test procedures comprising of dynamometer runs at full load operation with measurements over a range of combustion engine and/or electric motor speeds to determine the maximum power and torque curves of the propulsion units;
• maximum thirty minutes power: test procedure comprising of a test run at a constant power over thirty minutes to determine the maximum power an electric powertrain is able to produce over a thirty minutes period;
• maximum continuous rated power, switch-off distance and maximum assistance factor: test procedure for light vehicles designed to pedal comprising of test runs on a test bench with measurements to determine the maximum continuous rated power, the driving distance with motor assistance after stopping to pedal (switch-off distance) and the maximum ratio of motor power to rider input power (assistance factor).

Published report by TRL/ECORYS under a contract from the European Commission to assess the expected impact (cost/benefit) of the proposals for global technical regulations to address fuel-efficiency, emissions, and related performance characteristics of motorcycles and related L-category vehicles.

Proposal to extend the EPPR informal working group mandate into 2020 in order to permit the group to cover the full range of identified emissions and fuel consumption issues related to the full range of motorcycle and related light vehicles (Category 3/Category L).
