Status report on the group’s activities to develop amendments to GTR No. 2 on motorcycle emissions and new global technical regulations concerning L-category vehicle propulsion systems. The group’s priority interests include targets include evaporative emissions and on-board diagnostics testing, followed by tests for tailpipe emissions after cold start. Other interests include tailpipe emissions test at (increased) idle / free acceleration; emission test of crankcase gases; durability testing of pollution control devices; and measurement of CO2 emissions, fuel consumption, electric energy consumption and electric range determination; procedures to measure power and torque for propulsion technologies fitted on L-category vehicles; and uniform measurement of maximum design vehicle speed and/or power for restricted L-category vehicles.
