WP.29/2026/37

Proposal to establish requirements for the type approval of on-board monitoring (OBM) systems that:

1. detect vehicle exhaust emissions exceeding prescribed limits,
2. monitor propulsion battery storage capacity and health,
3. warn drivers as warranted, and
4. communicate such information off-board.

The provisions include specifications for an “environmental vehicle passport (EVP)” to be issued by the vehicle manufacturer, for the format, data, and off-board communication methods for the EVP and for the in-vehicle display of environmental performance data. The provisions also address manipulation devices and strategies. Japan abstained from the vote to adopt.
