the spare wheel(s) as well as the tools.

              3.2.6. "Mass of the driver" means a mass rated at 75 kg located at the driver's seating reference point.

              3.2.7. "Maximum vehicle load" means the technically permissible maximum laden mass minus the mass in running order, 25 kg and the mass of the optional equipment as defined in paragraph 3.2.8.

              3.2.8. "Mass of the optional equipment" means maximum mass of the combinations of optional equipment which may be fitted to the vehicle in addition to the standard equipment in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.

              3.2.9. "Optional equipment" means all the features not included in the standard equipment which are fitted to a vehicle under the responsibility of the manufacturer, and that can be ordered by the customer.

              3.2.10. "Reference atmospheric conditions (regarding road load measurements)" means the atmospheric conditions to which these measurement results are corrected:

                  (a) Atmospheric pressure: p0 = 100 kPa;

                  (b) Atmospheric temperature: T0 = 20 °C;

                  (c) Dry air density: ρ0 = 1.189 kg/m3;

                  (d) Wind speed: 0 m/s.

              3.2.11. "Reference speed" means the vehicle speed at which road load is determined or chassis dynamometer load is verified.

              3.2.12. "Road load" means the force resisting the forward motion of a vehicle as measured with the coastdown method or methods that are equivalent regarding the inclusion of frictional losses of the drivetrain.

              3.2.13. "Rolling resistance" means the forces of the tyres opposing the motion of a vehicle.

              3.2.14. "Running resistance" means the torque resisting the forward motion of a vehicle measured by torque meters installed at the driven wheels of a vehicle.

              3.2.15. "Simulated road load" means the road load experienced by the vehicle on the chassis dynamometer which is intended to reproduce the road load measured on the road, and consists of the force applied by the chassis dynamometer and the forces resisting the vehicle while driving on the chassis dynamometer and is approximated by the three coefficients of a second order polynomial.

              3.2.16. "Simulated running resistance" means the running resistance experienced by the vehicle on the chassis dynamometer which is intended to reproduce the running resistance measured on the road, and consists of the torque applied by the chassis dynamometer and the torque resisting the vehicle while driving on the chassis dynamometer and is approximated by the three coefficients of a second order polynomial.

              3.2.17. "Stationary anemometry" means measurement of wind speed and direction with an anemometer at a location and height above road level alongside the test road where the most representative wind conditions will be experienced.

              3.2.18. "Standard equipment" means the basic configuration of a vehicle which is equipped with all the features that are required under the regulatory acts of the Contracting Party including
