Draft formal proposal to WP.29 for discussion within the EVE informal group.

Comments regarding the method of stating energy consumption and arguing against pursuing an electrified vehicle durability assessment method given the rapidly changing technologies.

Summary of initial Transport Canada research into the impact of vehicle use on electric vehicle battery performance and driving range. The research quantified losses in charging energy, useable battery energy, and driving range as travel distance rose.

Second draft of the proposed request for authorization for review by EVE informal group stakeholders.

Revised proposal by the Informal Working Group on Periodical Technical Inspections based upon the proposal (document WP.29/2013/132/Rev.1) submitted by the Russian Federation and the International Motor Vehicle Inspection Committee (CITA) to harmonize the provisions of Rule No. 1 with those of the latest Regulations annexed to the 1958 Agreement and the European Union (EU) Directives.

Proposal to harmonize the provisions of UN Rule No. 1 with those of the latest UN Regulations annexed to the 1958 Agreement and the EU Directives.

Proposal for a new Regulation on uniform provisions concerning the approval of Heavy Duty Dual-Fuel Engine Retrofit Systems (HDDF-ERS) to be installed on heavy duty diesel engines and vehicles. Please note that Japan notified the UN Secretary-General on 1 February 2017 of its intention not to apply this regulation from the date it enters into effect (June 2017). Japan remains free to adopt the regulation at a later date.

UN Regulations Nos. 49 and 83 include provisions for a “driver inducement system” that alerts drivers of low reagent levels (urea, etc.) critical to correct emissions control performance and eventually prevents vehicle operation if the reagent tank is empty. Under UN R49 (para. 5.2), rescue, police, and other emergency/special use vehicles are exempted from this requirement. This proposal would extend the same treatment under UN R83. The proposal also makes several corrections and clarifications (see document GRPE/2016/11) with respect to extensions of approval, reduction in efficiency of the catalytic converter with respect to emissions of NMHC and NOx, and OBD.

Comparison of the current GTR 2 with the draft amendments to the GTR (document EPPR-11-15/Rev.1 as of 1 September 2016) part B1 to align GTR with the latest EU motorcycle emissions requirements.
