Draft agenda for the task force on protection against water.

Draft agenda for the meeting of the task force studying the possible enlargement of the scope of the proposed electric vehicle safety requirements to heavy trucks and buses.

Presentation for Task Force 8 under the Electric Vehicle Safety GTR project.

EC proposal to delete work on vehicle range and energy consumption testing and a method of stating energy consumption from the scope of the EVE group mandate (since these subjects are being pursued by other GRPE informal groups) and to extend the mandate duration.

The European Commission proposes to amend the draft EVE mandate in order to avoid overlap in the scope of work with other informal working groups addressing electric vehicle environmental issues. In addition, the EC proposes to extend the mandate duration given its understanding of the complexity, tasks and decision processes involved in meeting its objectives.

Initiated by the European Commission, the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) is a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) based method to evaluate the environmental performance of a product. Through this project, RECHARGE aims to develop the applicable criteria to the environmental performance of batteries in selected applications. RECHARGE intends to develop the methodology of the environmental impact evaluation for rechargeable batteries based on the PEF guidance document, as well as selected Environmental Performance Criteria which are based on information accepted and recognized on an international basis by the battery industry and other stakeholders. Finally, the PEF pilot phase provides an opportunity to harmonize the rules for environmental labeling of the batteries.

Guidance from the chair of the Working Party on Pollution and Energy concerning discussions on developing regulatory language to govern the measurement of electric vehicle power for vehicle/power source classification purposes.

Objectives, approach, and next steps towards developing regulatory provisions for electric vehicle environmental performance.

The document prepared by the Electic Vehicles-Environment informal group to serve as a comprehensive guide to the worldwide landscape of environmentally-related requirements specific to electrified vehicles as of September 2013.
