Proposal to align with UN R48 08 series of amendments (to introduce the possibility to switch OFF rear position lamps and other lamps when ambient light conditions outside the vehicle are above 7,000 lux in order to avoid unnecessary fuel consumption). The aim of the document is to reach consensus to enable adoption of a proposal during the next GRPE session (88th session in June 2023).

Proposal to harmonize the requirements for the determination of CO2, fuel, and electric energy consumption of the discharge requirement for OVC-HEV with an operating mode switch with its stop criterion and the preconditioning requirement with the 01 series of amendments to UN R101 and 06 and 07 series of amendments of UN R83 (Annex 14, provisions for emissions test procedures for HEV). The intention is to reach consensus towards approving a proposal during the 88th (June 2023) GRPE session.

Presentation on how to harmonize the requirements of the 06 and 07 series of amendments to UN R83, the 01 series of amendments to UN R101 and the original, 01, 02 and 03 series of amendments to UN R154 respectively, and to ensure consistent type-approval test conditions with the introduction of the 08 series of amendments to UN R48.

Proposal to introduce the possibility to switch OFF rear position lamps and other lamps when ambient light conditions outside the vehicle are above 7,000 lux in order to avoid unnecessary fuel consumption.

Proposal to harmonize requirements for the determination of CO2, fuel and electric energy consumption of the discharge requirement for OVC-HEV with an operating mode switch with its stop criterion. The preconditioning requirement is also harmonized between the 01 series of amendments of UN Regulation No. 101 (Annex 9, determination of electric range) and 06 and 07 series of amendments of UN Regulation No. 83 (Annex 14, provisions for emissions test procedures for HEV).

Annex 5 procedures include references to daytime running lamps and rear position and other lamps. In line with UN R48 and its 08 series of amendments which would permit switching off of rear position and other lamps when ambient light conditions are above 7,000 lux to avoid unnecessary fuel consumption, this proposal would permit ambient lighting during dynamometer operation above this threshold.

Proposal to permit use of equipment conforming to UN R154 for testing under UN R83 (and by extension to UN R101 which references UN R83).
