Global Technical Regulation No. 4: Test Procedure for Compression-ignition (C.I.) Engines and Positive-ignition (P.I.) Engines Fuelled with Natural Gas (NG) or Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) with regard to the Emission of Pollutants The Informal Group on Heavy-Duty Hybrids expects to deliver its final draft amendment to GTR No.4 at the January 2014 session of GRPE. This amendment would extend GTR No. 4 to include test procedures to evaluate hybrid heavy-duty vehicles. WHDC Worldwide Heavy-Duty Vehicle Emissions Certification Procedure GTR No. 4 GTR No. 4, Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3) RE3 is an overarching document to facilitate harmonization and support the development of specific UN Regulations by providing uniform terms, references, and other guidance for general use. RE3 provides the guiding principles for the various rule categories by subsystem. The Resolution, via Annex 7 (including Amendment 4), provides definitions of vehicle categories, including in some cases, particular classes of vehicles within the categories. Annex 4 includes recommendations on market fuel quality and Annex 5 contains design principles for control systems of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
