The document prepared by the Electic Vehicles-Environment informal group to serve as a comprehensive guide to the worldwide landscape of environmentally-related requirements specific to electrified vehicles as of September 2013.

Draft Amendment 3 to Global Technical Regulation (GTR) No. 4 concerning heavy-duty hybrids as approved by the Working Party on Pollution and Energy.

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.

Very handy summary of the documents and proposals discussed within the informal group with notations on their disposition and decisions taken.

Proposed draft text for a new UN Regulation for “uniform provisions concerning the approval of two- and three-wheeled light motor vehicles with regard to tailpipe emissions after cold start, tailpipe emissions at idle, at free acceleration and with regard to the energy efficiency”.

Proposal for a supplement to the draft global technical regulation on the “measurement procedure for two- or three-wheeled light motor vehicles equipped with a combustion engine with regard to the crankcase and evaporative emissions”.

Proposed draft text for a second phase of the proposed new UN Regulation for “uniform provisions concerning the approval of two- and three-wheeled light motor vehicles with regard to tailpipe emissions after cold start, tailpipe emissions at idle, at free acceleration and with regard to the energy efficiency”.

Proposal for a global technical regulation on "requirements for two- and three-wheeled light motor vehicles with regard to the durability of the pollution control devices.

Objectives, approach, and next steps towards developing regulatory provisions for electric vehicle environmental performance.

Guidance from the chair of the Working Party on Pollution and Energy concerning discussions on developing regulatory language to govern the measurement of electric vehicle power for vehicle/power source classification purposes.

Initiated by the European Commission, the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) is a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) based method to evaluate the environmental performance of a product. Through this project, RECHARGE aims to develop the applicable criteria to the environmental performance of batteries in selected applications. RECHARGE intends to develop the methodology of the environmental impact evaluation for rechargeable batteries based on the PEF guidance document, as well as selected Environmental Performance Criteria which are based on information accepted and recognized on an international basis by the battery industry and other stakeholders. Finally, the PEF pilot phase provides an opportunity to harmonize the rules for environmental labeling of the batteries.
