UN Regulation No. 115
Liquefied Petroleum and Compressed Natural Gas Retrofit Systems

This GTR prescribes a test cycle and test procedures to measure the emissions (including off-cycle) and fuel efficiency of light-duty vehicles. The GTR was adopted at the March 2014 session of the World Forum.

A supplemental "phase 1b" is underway to refine certain elements of the initial regulation. WP.29/AC.3 expects to consider a proposal for Amend. 1 to UN GTR No. 15 in November 2016 as result of Phase 1b activities.

A second phase is expected to address low ambient temperature, high altitude test procedures, and possibly durability and conformity issues.

A third phase would eventually include the addition of reference fuels, correlation across existing regional/national cycles, and introduction of emissions limits.

The latest draft version of the amended GTR is regularly updated by the WLTP informal working group.

The regulation is also supplemented by a gearshift calculation tool.

Specific Equipment of Motor Vehicles Using Liquefied Petroleum Gases in their Propulsion System II. A Vehicle Fitted with Specific Equipment for the Use of Liquefied Petroleum Gases in its Propulsion System with regard to the Installation of such Equipment LPG Equipment Liquefied Petroleum Gas Equipment UN Regulation No. 67 UN R67, Uniform Provisions Concerning the Approval of Vehicles with regard to the Emission of Pollutants According to Engine Fuel Requirements Together with R49, Regulation 83 addresses vehicle emissions. R83 covers emissions from all light vehicles (M1/N1) regardless of engine type and from heavier vehicles only if equipped with a gasoline engine. Under certain circumstances, R83 or R49 can apply to light vehicle CNG/LPG engines as well as to medium passenger and commercial vehicles (M2/N2) equipped with diesel engines. R83 also contains provisions specific to hybrid variations of the vehicles under its purview.
