Proposal of minor corrections to the draft Amendment 1 to GTR 19 (WP.29/2018/73).

Report on the development of Amendment 4 to GTR 15. Amendment 4 is part of the second phase development of the GTR mandated to:

1. Introduce definitions of response time, delay time and rise time harmonized with those in GTR Nos. 4 and 11
2. Introduce improvements to the gear shifting procedures
3. Ensure consistency in the use of the terms accuracy, precision, resolution, tolerance, repeatability and deviation
4. Address bi-fuel and bi-fuel gas vehicles in accordance with UN R83
5. Clearly define the appropriate positioning of payload mass (25 kg plus the mass of vehicle load)
6. Correct terminology such as “classes of rolling resistance coefficients”
7. Correct minor spelling and/or punctuation mistakes, and restructuring some paragraphs
8. orrect some equations and to make them all consistent with Word’s use of mathematical symbols
9. Exclude all Rechargeable Electric Energy Storage Systems (REESSs) that do not contribute to vehicle propulsion from monitoring
10. Better define the purity of certain gases such as nitrogen and synthetic air
11. Define more specifically the difference in mass of CO2 during charge sustaining between the test with the highest and lowest positive and negative electric energy charge

Background information on the development of Amendment 1 to GTR 19.

Proposal to improve the Engine Control Unit (ECU) torque signal validation requirement in the 06 series of amendments to R49 with regard to dual-fuel or flex-fuel vehicles. Under the regulation, the ECU torque information can be calibrated only to one fuel’s heat value (usually the basic reference fuel) even though the heat value of the alternative fuel is different. In order to increase the accuracy of the torque values used for calculating the emission results during in-service conformity testing, OICA proposes to change the provisions to either:

1. Demonstrate that both fuels comply because the ODB system is able to detect the fuel used, or
2. Determine the torque deviation caused by the alternative fuel heat value compared to the standard fuel and apply this correction factor to calculate a more accurate power signal for the emission calculation.

Proposal to improve the “random check requirement” and define the rounding of test results calculated according to Annex 4A in the 05 series of amendments.

Proposal to clarify the text with regard to the extension of approvals for category N vehicles in order to avoid a possible misinterpretation that extensions may not be granted to vehicles with a reference mass greater than the mass of the type-approved vehicle.

Proposal to clarify the wording of the determination of the net power for electric motors and 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.

Proposal to align UN R120 with the proposed 05 series of amendments to UN R96.

Proposal to clarify the text with regard to the extension of approvals for category N vehicles in order to avoid a possible misinterpretation that extensions may not be granted to vehicles with a reference mass greater than the mass of the type-approved vehicle.
