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 the wheels for propulsion of the vehicle;

        2.14. "Pure electric vehicle" means vehicle powered by an electric power train only;

        2.15. "Hybrid power train" means a power train with at least two different energy converters and two different energy storage systems (on-board the vehicle) for the purpose of vehicle propulsion;

        2.15.1. "Hybrid electric power train" means a power train that, for the purpose of mechanical propulsion, draws energy from both of the following on-vehicle sources of stored energy/power:

             - a consumable fuel
             - an electrical energy/power storage device (e.g.: battery, capacitor, flywheel/generator ...)

        2.16. OVC range: the total distance covered during complete combined cycles run until the energy imparted by external charging of the battery (or other electric energy storage device) is depleted, as measured according to the procedure described in Annex 9.

        2.17. "Hybrid vehicle (HV)" means a vehicle powered by a hybrid power train;

        2.17.1. "Hybrid electric vehicle (HEV)" means a vehicle powered by a hybrid electric power train;

        2.18. "Electric range", for vehicles powered by an electric power train only or by a hybrid electric power train with off-vehicle charging, means distance that can be driven electrically on one fully charged battery (or other electric energy storage device) as measured according to the procedure described in Annex 9.

        2.19. "Periodically regenerating system" means an anti-pollution device (e.g. catalytic converter, particulate trap) that requires a periodical regeneration process in less than 4,000 km of normal vehicle operation.  If a regeneration of an anti-pollution device occurs at least once per Type I test and that has already regenerated at least once during the vehicle preparation cycle, it will be considered as a continuously regenerating system, which does not require a special test procedure.  Annex 10 does not apply to continuously regenerating systems.

         At the request of the manufacturer, the test procedure specific to periodically regenerating systems will not apply to a regenerative device if the manufacturer provides data to the type approval authority that, during cycles where regeneration occurs, emission of CO2 does not exceed the declared value by more than 4 per cent after agreement of the technical service.

        3. APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL

        3.1. The application for approval of a vehicle type with regard to the measurement of the emission of carbon dioxide and fuel consumption and/or to the measurement of electric energy consumption and electric range shall be submitted by the vehicle manufacturer or by his duly accredited representative.

        3.2. It shall be accompanied by the under-mentioned
