electric vehicles defined in Regulation No. 68.

        Stopping the discharge occurs:

          - when the vehicle is not able to run at 65 per cent of the maximum thirty minutes speed; or

          - when an indication to stop the vehicle is given to the driver by the standard on-board instrumentation, or

          - after covering a distance of 100 km.

           If the vehicle is not equipped with a pure electric mode, the electrical energy/power storage device discharge shall be achieved by driving the vehicle (on the test track, on a chassis dynamometer, etc.):

          - at a steady speed of 50 km/h until the fuel consuming engine of the HEV starts up,

          - or if a vehicle can not reach a steady speed of 50 km/h without starting up the fuel consuming engine, the speed shall be reduced until the vehicle can run a lower steady speed where the fuel consuming engine just does not start up for a defined time/distance (to be specified between technical service and manufacturer),

          - or with manufacturer's recommendation.

        The fuel-consuming engine shall be stopped within 10 seconds of it being automatically started.

       4.2.3. Conditioning of the vehicle:

       4.2.3.1. For conditioning compression-ignition engined vehicles the Part Two cycle of the applicable driving cycle shall be used in combination with the applicable gear shifting prescriptions as defined in paragraph 1.4. of this annex.  Three consecutive cycles shall be driven.

       4.2.3.2. Vehicles fitted with positive-ignition engines shall be preconditioned with one Part One and two Part Two cycles of the applicable driving cycle in combination with the applicable gear shifting prescriptions as defined in paragraph 1.4. of this annex.

       4.2.3.3. After this preconditioning, and before testing, the vehicle shall be kept in a room in which the temperature remains relatively constant between 293 and 303 K (20 °C and 30 °C).  This conditioning shall be carried out for at least six hours and continue until the engine oil temperature and coolant, if any, are within ± 2 K of the temperature of the room, and the electrical energy/power storage device is fully charged as a result of the charging prescribed in paragraph 4.2.3.4. below.

       4.2.3.4. During soak, the electrical energy/power storage device shall be charged, using the normal overnight charging procedure as defined in paragraph 3.2.2.5. of this annex.

       4.2.4. Test procedure

       4.2.4.1. The vehicle shall be started up by the means provided for normal use to the driver.  The first cycle starts on the initiation of the vehicle start-up procedure.

       4.2.4.2. Sampling shall begin (BS) before or at the initiation of the vehicle start up procedure and end on conclusion of the final idling period in the extra-urban cycle (Part Two, end of sampling (ES)).

       4.2.4.3. The vehicle shall
