Swiss report on circumvention of pollution-control systems through the use of aftermarket AdBlue emulators that stop AdBlue injection while preventing detection of the failure by the engine management system.

Report on the development of Amendment 3 to GTR 15 on light vehicle emissions. The amendment aims to:

1. clarify phase, cycle and vehicle class terminology to enable interpolation between different levels of downscaling, cycle classes and speed caps (resulting in modifications to WLTC cycle phases and time/speed tables),
2. improve the gear shifting procedures, including changes to gear selection and shift point determination for vehicles equipped with manual transmissions,
3. define the possible and permissible combinations of test vehicle selection and family requirements,
4. define the calculation of the average test mass during road load determination,
5. define single and double roller dynamometers, and
6. make editorial improvements.

Proposal for a new global technical regulation to establish test procedures to evaluate evaporative emissions (e.g., Volatile Organic Compounds) of parked vehicles. This GTR is proposed within the broader context of the work on light vehicle emissions test procedures (WLTP).

Proposal from the PTI informal group to establish inspection requirements for natural-gas-powered vehicles under the 1997 Agreement.

Status of the various programs for the further development of the light vehicle emissions GTR.

Proposal to correct an error in the formula presented in paragraph 5.4.2. Diesel engines – Factor αd. The parameter “f_m” in the equation should be a superscript (e.g., meaning “to the power of f_m”). Through a transcription error, this factor was rendered in normal text.

Proposal of a consolidated revision of UN R96 to align the UN Regulation with Regulation (EU) 2016/162 concerning gaseous and particulate pollutant emission limits and type-approval for internal combustion engines for non-road mobile machinery.

Supplementary information on the proposal to align UN R96 with Regulation (EU) 2016/162 concerning gaseous and particulate pollutant emission limits and type-approval for internal combustion engines for non-road mobile machinery.

Presentation regarding the proposal for a 05 series of amendments to UN R96 to align the regulation with European Union emissions requirements for non-road mobile machinery.

Input from the vice-chair of the EVE informal group.

Proposal to add Japanese fuel (E0) to the reference fuel options, delete the manufacturer declaration value of normal idle CO, and change the provision of high idle and lambda into a Contracting Party option.
