Proposal to adapt the provisions in UN R101 to allow the usage of road load powers which have been derived from those determined in accordance with UN GTR No. 15 (WLTP).

Proposal to adapt the provisions in UN R101 to allow the usage of road load powers which have been derived from those determined in accordance with UN GTR No. 15 (WLTP).

12. The representative from OICA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2020/6 allowing the usage of alternative road load power determination techniques, which have been derived from those determined in UN GTR No. 15 and UN Regulation on WLTP, to amend the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 101. The representative from Australia supported the proposal and the principle to help countries that have not yet finalized the transition to WLTP. GRPE adopted the proposal to amend the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 101, as amended by Annex VIII to the session report.

13. GRPE requested the secretariat to submit Annex VIII to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their June 2020 sessions as draft Supplement 9 to the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 101.

Update on the status of work regarding the transition from NEDC to WLTP, particularly pending the transposition of GTR 15 into one or more UN Regulations under the 1958 Agreement.

17. The expert from OICA updated GRPE on the status of the work related to propose an amendment to UN Regulation No. 101 (GRPE-79-11) to accept the tests currently performed in the European Union in the interest of correlation between NEDC and WLTP outside of the European Union where such correlation does not exist. The representative of Australia described the measure taken in the country to accept approvals based on WLTP and still rely on NEDC-based values for fiscal and labelling purposes.

68. The representative of EC informed GRPE that the EU had started the post-EURO 6 / VI legislative process, that was expected to last for about two years. She highlighted that the work undertaken at GRPE on, among other important activities, low temperature test, particulates measurement and electric-vehicle related activities were of paramount importance to the process and she encouraged the work to be performed by GRPE and finalized by 2020.

69. GRPE agreed to further discuss the issue during the next session in May 2019 to learn more about the potential impact of the EU process on post EURO 6 / VI on GRPE activities.

Presentation raising concerns during the transition from NEDC to WLTP and proposing measures to facilitate this transition pending adoption of WLTP under the 1958 Agreement.

11. The expert from OICA introduced GRPE-78-20 proposing to amend UN Regulation No.101 to permit the measurement of fuel and energy consumption and CO2 emissions using road loads which are calculated according to the method used in EU correlation. The representative from EC sought clarifications on the use of CO2MPAS for this proposal. The representative from OICA explained that CO2MPAS formula are expected to be used for the calculation of road load coefficients, without using the CO2MPAS software itself. The representative from EC backed the proposal and requested that the EU JRC be involved in developing the working document. The Chair thanked the representative from OICA for initiating this effort and for making the latest legislative provisions available to all Contracting Parties.
