The main objective of this proposal is to establish an amendment to GTR No. 2 on the Worldwide harmonized Motorcycle emissions Certification-test procedure (WMTC) to insert Environmental and Propulsion Performance Requirements (EPPR), currently only applicable for two-wheeled motorcycles. Where warranted, other amendments or proposals for new regulations may be developed.

“Requirements for two- and three-wheeled light motor vehicles with regard to tailpipe emissions after cold start, tailpipe emissions at idle and free acceleration, [durability of pollution control devices] and energy efficiency.”

Working draft of the proposed global technical regulation on the measurement procedure for two- or three-wheeled light motor vehicle equipped with a combustion engine with regard to the crankcase and evaporative emissions.

The main objective of this proposal is to establish an amendment to global technical regulation No. 2 on the Worldwide harmonized Motorcycle emissions Certification-test procedure (WMTC) to insert Environmental and Propulsion Performance Requirements (EPPR), currently only applicable for two-wheeled motorcycles. Should an amendment to GTR No. 2 be deemed inappropriate, alternatives including development of a new GTR will be considered.

The objectives also include development of requirements and/or test procedures to create synergies and uniform provisions with related 1958 Agreement UN Regulations, exchange information on current and future regulatory EPPR, e.g. for
“category 3 vehicles” or “L-category vehicles”, minimize differences between these regulatory EPPR, with the view to facilitate the development of light vehicles complying with such internationally harmonized requirements, and to assess coherence with other regulatory requirements and groups activities, such as those on Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedures (WLTP) and on Electric Vehicles and the Environment (EVE).

Text based upon a proposal from Japan as adopted by the Working Party on Pollution and Energy (GRPE) at its 65th session to introduce corrections to align the unit of each factor in the equations 8-2, 8-4, 8-6, and 8-10 in paragraph 8 and to Annex 13, paragraph 1, Figure A13-1 where, in the upper figure for “gear use during acceleration phases”, the acceleration gear 1 incorrectly starts from zero.
