I. STATEMENT OF TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS AND RATIONALE
A. TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC VALIDITY
1. The objective of this proposal is to establish a global technical regulation (gtr) for emissions from compression ignition (CI) engines installed in non-road mobile equipment (NRMM) in accordance with the 1998 Global Agreement based on an agreed off-road test protocol. incorporating test cycles developed by the GRPE NRMT informal group, using the off-road test cycle (PTTC) developed in 2000-2002 by an international task force.
2. Some countries have already introduced regulations governing exhaust emissions from non-road mobile engines, but their test procedures differ. In the interest of providing maximum benefit to environment and effective use energy, it is advisable to ensure that as many countries as possible apply the same test protocol to control emissions. Society will benefit from harmonization of requirements based on overall global emission reductions. Manufacturers of off-road mobile equipment have already entered the global market and are more economically interested in developing engine models that comply with internationally agreed emission regulations. The harmonization achieved through this gtr allows manufacturers to develop new models as efficiently as possible. Finally, the consumer will benefit from being able to choose, at a lower cost, low emission engines that are manufactured to world recognized standards.
3. New real-world studies of RRMMs have been guided by the development of a transitional test cycle initiated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and continued in collaboration with the Joint Research Center (CCR) of the European Commission and an international task force. The data collected allowed the development of a transient test cycle, together with the requirements for cold and hot engine starting. The basis for the development of a steady state test cycle for hot engine starting was proposed by an expert committee of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Test cycles have been published in series ISO standards 8178. This procedure involves the application of exhaust gas measurement technology to accurately measure the emissions of pollutants from future low-emission engines. The PCTC test cycle has already been introduced into the emission legislation of the European Union (EU), Canada and the United States of America and serves as the basis for the development of specialized vehicle legislation currently under way in Japan. The purpose of this gtr is to achieve a high level of harmonization additional conditions testing in the context of existing or emerging legislation.
4. The test procedure reflects, as much as possible, the operating conditions of RRM motors around the world and closely approximates actual test conditions to measure emissions from existing and future RRM motors. In other words, the test procedure has been designed to:
a) is representative of the actual operating conditions of the engines of off-road mobile equipment;
b) was able to provide the highest possible level efficiency to reduce emissions from non-road mobile engines;
c) allowed to use the most modern technology testing, sampling and measurements;
(d) Has been applied in practice to existing and possible future technologies for reducing exhaust emissions; and
(e) Was able to provide reliable rankings of exhaust emissions from various types of engines.
5. On this stage The gtr is being submitted without specifying limit values and applicable power ranges for RRM motors. In this way, the test procedure can be given legal status and Contracting Parties are encouraged to initiate the process of incorporating the gtr into their national legislation. One option, provided by the gtr, is at the discretion of the Contracting Parties. It is related to the permitted temperature range of the dilution air.
6. When implementing the test procedure in this gtr, Contracting Parties, within their national regulations or legislation, are encouraged to use limit values that at least correspond to the severity level specified in their current regulations ah, pending the development of harmonized limit values by the Executive Committee (AC.3) of the 1998 Agreement administered by the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29). Consequently, the performance levels (emission test results) to be provided for by the gtr will be negotiated taking into account the most recent agreed provisions in the Contracting Parties as required by the 1998 Agreement.
7. To facilitate the regulatory activities of some countries, in particular those in which legislation in this area has not yet been adopted or is not as strict as indicated above, a corresponding methodological document has also been prepared. Its format is based on the format used in the EU for new and global approach directives. It is important to note that only the text of the gtr is legally binding. The methodological document does not have any legal status and does not introduce any additional requirements, but aims to promote and facilitate the use of the gtr. This guidance document was posted on the WP.29 website and placed next to the text of the gtr in accordance with the decision taken by AC.3.
B. EXPECTED BENEFITS
8. VRMT and associated motors are designed and manufactured for the global market. V economically It is disadvantageous for manufacturers to design and produce significantly different models to comply with different emission regulations and emission measurement methods that are in principle aimed at the same goal. To enable manufacturers to develop new models more efficiently and quickly, it is advisable to prepare an appropriate gtr. The savings generated by the gtr will benefit not only manufacturers but, more importantly, consumers.
9. However, the development of a test procedure is only for the solution economic issues not fully consistent with the mandate given at the outset of this gtr. The test procedure also contributes to the improvement of test methods for RRM motors and to better reflect the current operating capabilities of RRM motors at present. As noted above, some Contracting Parties have already adopted legislation incorporating the test cycles provided for in this gtr. For Contracting Parties to the 1998 Agreement that have not yet introduced legislation of the same level, the test methods set out in this gtr are significantly more representative of the actual operating conditions of RRMMs around the world than the measurement methods defined in the current legislation.
10. Thus, the widespread application of this gtr under the emission legislation of the Contracting Parties to the 1998 Agreement can be expected to result in tighter control of emissions from engines currently in operation due to an improved relationship between test methods and the actual operating conditions of the RRM.
C. POTENTIAL PROFITABILITY
11. No specific values have been calculated to judge the cost-effectiveness of this gtr. The main reason that this analysis was not carried out is that AC.3 decided to continue work on the emissions gtr without taking into account the limit values. However, this information will be available following the agreement of the limit values at a later stage in the development of the gtr. Particular attention will be paid to the ongoing process of developing such performance requirements for inclusion in gtr No. 2 on the Worldwide Harmonized Motorcycle Emissions Test Cycle (WMTC). In addition, RRM motor factories will gain experience in matching any costs and savings using this test procedure. In such a case, information on costs and emission levels could be analyzed in the next phase of the development of this gtr in order to determine the cost-effectiveness of the test procedure in the context of this gtr. While no cost per tonne of emissions has been calculated, experts believe the benefits of this gtr are clear.

UNITED NATIONS
PROPOSAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A GLOBAL TECHNICAL REGULATION FOR MOTORCYCLE BRAKING SYSTEMS
Purpose of the proposal
Statistics from the United States of America for the period 1990-2000 indicate that about 13% of the average annual 2,500 motorcycle accident fatalities are attributable to braking maneuvers.
In light of the 1998 Global Agreement, we now have the opportunity to develop improved and harmonized rules for motorcycle braking systems. In addition, work within the framework of the Global Forum will allow these new rules to take into account, if not all, then most of the security concerns of the international community, as well as existing technical developments.
The purpose of this proposal is to prepare a global technical regulation for motorcycle braking systems. The proposed regulation will be based on existing national regulations of the contracting parties as well as international standards and regulations and should contain provisions addressing modern technologies such as anti-lock braking system (ABS) and combined braking system (CCS).
As motorcycles are sold all over the world, it can be beneficial for everyone to harmonize and improve regulations on motorcycle braking systems based on new technical advances. Improving motorcycle safety will benefit governments through the application of best practices and more efficient use of resources. Manufacturing plants will benefit from reduced development, testing and production costs for new models. Finally, the consumer will benefit from a wider range of motorcycle models, manufactured to improved and globally recognized standards that provide higher levels of safety at lower prices.
As a result of advances in disc brake systems and the recent introduction of new technologies such as ABS and CTS, modern motorcycles are now equipped with highly sophisticated and efficient braking systems. It is time for international regulators to review the feasibility of continuing to apply existing motorcycle brake standards in light of the above developments and assess the potential for significant improvements in motorcycle safety through new technical advances.
Description of the proposed rules
The global technical regulation will be developed based on the best practices used in the existing regulations, directives and industry standards listed below.
The development will take place in two phases, resulting in one final gtr document taking into account new technological advances. The first step in developing a gtr will be to compare existing regulations according to their level of severity, cost effectiveness and safety benefits, and to prepare an agreed draft. The second phase of the development of the gtr will consider any additional technical advances and safety enhancements, and the associated economic efficiency as a result of the inclusion of provisions for new developments such as ABS and CCC.
The proposed gtr will be based on the work that has already been done by the International Motorcycle Manufacturers Association (IMMA) and the results of the motorcycle brake test program initiated by the United States of America and implemented in Canada.
Elements that would not be possible to agree within the Working Party on Brakes and Running Gear and which would be considered in accordance with the procedures established by AC.3 and WP.29 had to be identified.
The proposed global technical regulation will be based on the existing national regulations of Contracting Parties listed below as well as voluntarily applied standards. They will contain provisions that are acceptable to all interested parties.
The proposed gtr will be developed in the format adopted by WP.29.
Existing rules and directives
Although the Compendium of Candidates does not currently contain any regulation, the following requirements will be taken into account in the development of a new global technical regulation for motorcycle braking systems.
Europe: UNECE Regulation No. 78 - Uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicles of category L with regard to braking

PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF A GLOBAL TECHNICAL REGULATION FOR MOTORCYCLE BRAKING SYSTEMS
A. INTRODUCTION
At the one hundred and twenty-sixth session of WP.29 in March 2002, the Executive Committee (AC.3) of the 1998 Global Agreement adopted the 1998 Global Agreement Program of Work for the development of a global technical regulation (gtr) on motorcycle braking systems. Subsequently, at the fifty-fifth session of GRRF in September 2002, Canada volunteered to sponsor the development of a gtr on motorcycle braking requirements. For the development of the gtr, AC.3 approved the request by Canada to establish and chair an informal group on motorcycle braking systems at the one-hundredth session of WP.29 held in June 2003.
This preliminary report has been prepared in accordance with paragraph 5 of TRANS / WP.29 / 882 - Guidelines for the Submission and Development of Proposals for Global Technical Regulations. It was drawn up after careful consideration by the GRRF Working Party of Canada's proposal for the development of a gtr on motorcycle braking systems (document TRANS / WP.29 / AC.3 / 3), which was adopted by AC.3 at its seventh session in March 2003.
B. CURRENT SITUATION
Some of the current regulations for motorcycle braking systems are not in line with development modern technologies... With advances in disc brake systems and the recent introduction of new technologies such as anti-lock braking systems (ABS) and combined braking systems (CCS), it is possible to equip modern motorcycles with highly sophisticated and efficient braking systems.
Statistics collected to date indicate that improved motorcycle braking systems will help reduce motorcycle accidents. Since 1997, the number of such fatal accidents in North America increases. Of particular concern is the 8.2% increase in fatal crashes among motorcyclists aged 40 and over in Canada between 1994 and 2000 and 24.7% in the United States of America between 1994 and 1999. In addition, statistics from the United States of America for the period 1991-1999 show that about 13% of the average annual number of fatalities in motorcycle accidents (involving one vehicle) (1,055 people) is associated with braking maneuvers. At the fifty-second session of GRRF, all States were requested to provide additional data on motorcycle road accidents for the preparation of a cost-benefit study for the purpose of the gtr.
Adopting current (more stringent) regulations on motorcycle braking systems will benefit everyone and take advantage of modern technology. Governments will benefit from improved motorcycle safety through the application of best practices and more efficient use of resources. Manufacturing plants will benefit from reduced development, testing and production costs for new models. Finally, the consumer will benefit from this as they have a wider range of motorcycle models manufactured to improved and globally recognized standards that provide higher levels of safety at lower prices.
The development of a gtr on motorcycle braking systems aims to reduce injuries and deaths from motorcycle crashes. GRRF believes it is time to update existing standards with harmonized rules based on best practice within the framework of current national regulations and taking into account modern braking systems that can improve the safety of motorcyclists.
C. RULES OR STANDARDS RELEVANT TO RELEVANT
A significant number of regulations and standards are currently under review to provide the basis for the development of this gtr, including:
· UNECE Regulation No. 78 - Uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicles of category L with regard to braking,
· US Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 49: Transportation; part 571.122: motorcycle braking systems,
· Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations No. 000 - Motorcycle Brake Systems,
· EU Directive 93/14 / EEC - braking of vehicles of category L (essentially similar to Regulation No. 78 ECE),
Japanese safety standard JS12-61,
Australian Construction Regulation 33/00 - Motorcycle and Moped Braking Systems,
ISO 8710: 1995, Motorcycles - Brakes and braking devices - Tests and measurement methods,
ISO 12364: 2001, Two-wheeled motorcycles - Anti-lock braking systems (ABS) - tests and methods of measurement,
ISO 8709: 1995, Mopeds - Brakes and braking devices - Tests and methods of measurement,
· ISO 12366: 2001, Two-wheeled mopeds - Anti-lock braking systems (ABS) - Testing and measurement methods.
D. DEVELOPMENT OF THE GTR
A global technical regulation will be developed based on best practice within the framework of applicable directives, directives and industry standards. They will also take into account new braking technologies such as ABS and KTS, with which motorcycles can be equipped.
Given the timeline and nature of the task, discussions on the content of the gtr and the conduct of scientific testing have already begun. As of 1 December 2004, five meetings have been held to develop a gtr on motorcycle braking systems, including two prior to the establishment of the informal group; we are talking about the following activities:
GRRF believes that these efforts are effective in identifying differences between national regulations and will provide the necessary information to develop more stringent motorcycle braking regulations and to update those regulations.
Elements on which it is not possible to reach agreement within the Working Party on Brakes and Running Gear will be identified and dealt with in accordance with the protocol prepared by AC.3 and WP.29.
E. FUTURE ACTIVITIES
The informal group established a timetable for the preparation and completion of this gtr. The draft gtr will be presented to GRRF at its fifty-seventh session in February 2005, and in the absence of any major discrepancies, the final draft could be approved at the fifty-eighth session of GRRF in September 2005. Once adopted by the GRRF Working Party, a final report is planned to be submitted in 2006 for consideration by AC.3 and WP.29, together with the approved gtr.
F. CONCLUSION
After the preliminary review Canada, as a technical sponsor, requests AC.3 to agree to continue this work on the preparation of a global technical regulation for motorcycle braking systems, based on the proposal in document TRANS / WP.29 / AC.3 / 3.
