| MR 2: VPSD | Mutual Resolution No. 2: Vehicle Propulsion System Definitions | WP.29 Agreements and Resolutions | Certain UN Regulations and UN GTR, including texts under development, include terms, definitions, and classifications relating to vehicle powertrain systems (e.g., electric vehicle, fuel cell vehicle), energy storage systems (e.g., fuel tank, gas cylinder, battery), and energy converter (e.g., internal combustion engine, fuel cell, electric machine). However, the definition of these terms varies across the regulations which can lead to confusion and inconsistencies in the application of regulatory requirements. Mutual Resolution No. 2 is intended as a repository for terms, acronyms, and definitions towards ensuring their uniform use across regulations.

| MR 3: VIAQ | Mutual Resolution No. 3: Vehicle Interior Air Quality (VIAQ) | WP.29 Agreements and Resolutions | Korea raised this issue in June 2013 in response to reports of vehicle occupant headaches, dizziness, and other symptoms thought to be linked with evaporative emissions originating with the chemical compounds used in the construction of vehicle interiors. The particular concern is that the use of certain volatile organic compounds and other chemicals in adhesives and interior plastics may be generating noxious fumes, especially in hot conditions.
