(a)

the measurement of the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) and fuel consumption and/or to the
measurement of electric energy consumption and electric range of vehicles powered by an
internal combustion engine only or by a hybrid electric power train,

(b) and to the measurement of electric energy consumption and electric range of vehicles powered

by an electric power train only.

It does not apply to a category N1 vehicle if both:

(a)

the engine type fitted to that type of vehicle has received type-approval pursuant to Regulation
No 49, and

(b) the total annual worldwide production of N1 vehicles of the manufacturer is less than 2 000

units.’

Paragraph 3.3., amend to read:

‘3.3.

A vehicle, representative of the vehicle type to be approved, shall be submitted to the technical
services responsible for conducting approval tests. For M1 and N1 vehicles, type-approved with
respect to their emissions according to Regulation No 83, the technical service will check during
the test that this vehicle, if powered by an internal combustion engine only or by a hybrid electric
power train, conforms to the limit values applicable to that type, as described in Regulation No 83.’

Paragraph 5.2.1., amend to read:

‘5.2.1.

The emissions of CO2 and fuel consumption shall be measured according to the test procedure
described in Annex 6. Vehicles which do not attain the acceleration and maximum speed values
required in the test cycle must be operated with the accelerator control fully depressed until they
once again reach the required operating curve. Deviations from the test cycle must be recorded in
the test report.’

Paragraphs 7.1. to 7.1.3., amend to read (inserting a reference to new footnote (4):

‘7.1.

Vehicles powered by an internal combustion engine only, except vehicles equipped with a periodically
regenerating emission control system

The type approval can be extended to vehicles from the same type or from a different type
differing with regard to the following characteristics of Annex 4 if the CO2 emissions measured
by the technical service do not exceed the type approved value by more than 4 per cent for
vehicles of category M1 and 6 per cent for vehicles of category N1:

7.1.1.

Reference mass.

7.1.2.

Maximum authorized mass.

7.1.3.

Type of bodywork:

(b) for N1: lorry, van.’

Insert new footnote (4), to read:

‘(4) As defined in Annex 7 to the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3) (TRANS/WP.29/78/

Rev.1/Amend.2).’

Paragraph 7.2., amend to read:

‘7.2.

Vehicles powered by an internal combustion engine only and equipped with a periodically regenerating
emission control system

The type approval can be extended to vehicles from the same type or from a different type,
differing with regard to the characteristics of Annex 4, given in paragraphs 7.1.1. to 7.1.5. above,
but not exceeding the family characteristics of Annex 10, if the CO2 emissions measured by the
technical service do not exceed the type approved value by more than 4 per cent for vehicles of
category M1 and 6 per cent for vehicles of category N1, and where the same Ki factor is applicable.

The type approval can be extended also to vehicles from the same type, but with a different Ki
factor, if the corrected CO2 value measured by the technical service does not exceed the type
approved value by more than 4 per cent for vehicles of category M1 and 6 per cent for vehicles of
category N1.’

Paragraphs 7.4. to 7.4.3., amend to read:

‘7.4.

Vehicles powered by a hybrid electric power train

The type approval can be extended to vehicles from the same type or from a different type
differing with regard to the following characteristics of Annex 4 if the CO2 emissions and the
electric energy consumption measured by the technical service do not exceed the type approved
value by more than 4 per cent for vehicles of category M1 and 6 per cent for vehicles of category
N1:

Insert new paragraphs 7.5. to 7.6.3., to read:

‘7.5.

7.5.1.

Extension of approval of vehicles of category N1 within a family, if powered by an internal combustion
engine only or by a hybrid electric power train

For vehicles of category N1 that are approved as members of a vehicle family using the procedure
in paragraph 7.6.2., the type-approval can be extended to vehicles from within the same family
only if the technical service estimates that the fuel consumption of the new vehicle does not
exceed the fuel consumption of the vehicle on which the family's fuel consumption is based.

Approvals may also be extended to vehicles which:

(a) are up to 110 kg heavier than the family member tested, provided that they are within 220 kg

of the lightest member of the family,

(b) have a lower overall transmission ratio than the family member tested due solely to a change

in tyre sizes, and

(c) conform with the family in all other respects.

7.5.2.

For vehicles of category N1 that are approved as members of a vehicle family using the procedure
in paragraph 7.6.3., the type-approval can be extended to vehicles from within the same family
without additional testing only if the technical service estimates that the fuel consumption of the
new vehicle falls within the limits made up of those two vehicles in the family that have the lowest
and the highest fuel consumption, respectively.

7.6.

Approval of vehicles of category N1 within a family, if powered by an internal combustion engine only or by
a hybrid electric power train

Vehicles of category N1 can be approved within a family as defined in paragraph 7.6.1. using one
of the two alternative methods described in paragraphs 7.6.2. and 7.6.3.

7.6.1.

N1 vehicles may be grouped together into a family for the purposes of this Regulation if the
following parameters are identical or within the specified limits:

7.6.1.1.

Identical parameters are:

(a) manufacturer and type as defined in Annex 4, item 2.,

(b) engine capacity,

(c) emission control system type,

(d) fuel system type as defined in Annex 4, item 6.7.2.

22.2.2008

L 48/81

7.6.1.2. The following parameters have to be within the following limits:

(a)

transmission overall ratios (no more than 8 per cent higher than the lowest) as defined in
Annex 4, item 6.10.3.,

(b) reference mass (no more than 220 kg lighter than the heaviest),

(c)

frontal area (no more than 15 per cent smaller than the largest),

(d) engine power (no more than 10 per cent less than the highest value).

7.6.2.

7.6.3.

A vehicle family, as defined in paragraph 7.6.1., can be approved with CO2 emission and fuel
consumption data that are common to all members of the family. The technical service must select
for testing the member of the family which the service considers to have the highest CO2
emission. The measurements are performed as described in paragraph 5. and Annex 6, and the
results according to the method described in paragraph 5.5. are used as type-approval values that
are common to all members of the family.

Vehicles that are grouped in a family as defined in paragraph 7.6.1. can be approved with
individual CO2 emission and fuel consumption data for each of
the family members. The
technical service selects for testing the two vehicles, which the service considers to have the
highest and the lowest CO2 emissions
respectively. The measurements are performed as
described in paragraph 5. and Annex 6. If the manufacturer's data for these two vehicles falls
the CO2 emissions declared by the
within the tolerance limits described in paragraph 5.5.,
manufacturer for all members of the vehicle family can be used as type-approval values. If the
manufacturer's data do not fall within the tolerance limits, the results according to the method
described in paragraph 5.5. are used as type-approval values and the technical service shall select
an appropriate number of other family members for additional tests.’
