Overview of European Union regulatory efforts to reduce greenhouse gases associated with mobile air-conditioning systems.

The purpose of this proposal is to add transitional provisions to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 101, to solve a discrepancy between the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 83 and the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 101.

This presentation outlines European Commission plans for a new regulatory structure for motorcycles, mopeds, quadricycles, and similar vehicles (Category L vehicles), scheduled for introduction on 1 January 2014.

This proposal seeks to align UN R96 with EU Directive 2011/87/EU, delaying by three years the introduction of Stage IIIB and IV engines for certain Category T farm tractors. These tractors are specialised machines intended to operate in vineyards and orchards in southern Europe.

Germany has provided this proposal to revise their earlier submission (document GRPE/2012/2) pursuant to discussions held with the experts from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and the European Commission.

This proposal was prepared by the experts from the informal Heavy-Duty Dual Fuel (HDDF) Task Force within the GFV informal working group in order to enable the type approval of new EURO VI heavy duty dual-fuel engines and vehicles.

This proposal would correct editorial errors detected in GTR 4 during the transposition of the GTR provisions into UN Regulation 49 (6 series of amendments).

Written overview of the status of work on heavy-duty hybrid vehicle emissions standards (complements presentation by the group to the Working Party on Pollution and Energy. See document GRPE-63-19.)

Presentation to the Working Party on Pollution and Energy (GRPE), covering the work on emissions testing standards for heavy-duty hybrid (HDH) vehicles, including status of research programs, roadmap, report on 7th and 8th HDH meetings, open items, and plans for next meetings.
