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.

        2. DEFINITIONS

         For the purposes of this Regulation,

        2.1. "Approval of a vehicle" means the approval of a vehicle type with regard to the measurement of energy consumption (fuel or electric energy);

        2.2. "Vehicle type" means a category of power driven vehicles which do not differ in such essential respects as body, power train, transmission, traction battery (if applicable), tyres and unladen mass;

        2.3. "Unladen mass" means the mass of the vehicle in running order without crew, passengers or load, but with the fuel tank full (if any), cooling liquid, service and traction batteries, oils, onboard charger, portable charger, tools and spare wheel, whatever is appropriate for the vehicle considered and if provided by the manufacturer of the vehicle;

        2.4. "Reference mass" means the unladen mass of the vehicle increased by a uniform figure of 100 kg;

        2.5. "Maximum mass" means the technically permissible maximum mass declared by the manufacturer (this mass may be greater than the maximum mass authorized by the national administration);

        2.6. "Test mass" for the pure electric vehicles, means the "reference mass" for the category M1 vehicles and the unladen mass plus half the full load for the category N1 vehicles;

         2.7 "Lorry" means a motor vehicle of category N1 which is designed and constructed exclusively or principally for conveying goods.

        2.8. "Van" means a lorry with the cab integrated into the body.

        2.9. "Cold start device" means a device which enriches the air/fuel mixture of the engine temporarily, to assist starting;

        2.10. "Starting aid" means a device which assists engine starting without enrichment of the air/fuel mixture, e.g. glow plug, changed injection timing, etc.;

        2.11. "Power train" means the system of energy storage device(s), energy converter(s) and transmission(s) that converts stored energy to mechanical energy delivered at the wheels for propulsion of the vehicle;

        2.12. "Internal combustion engine vehicle" means vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine only;

        2.13. "Electric power train" means a system consisting of one or more electric energy storage devices (e.g. a battery, electromechanical flywheel or super capacitor), one or more electric power conditioning devices and one or more electric machines that convert stored electric energy to mechanical energy delivered at
