is characterised by vehicle speed higher than 60 km/h and lower than or equal to 80 km/h.

              Motorway speed bin (for 4-phase analysis) is characterised by speeds above 90 km/h.

              For those vehicles that are equipped with a device permanently limiting vehicle speed to 100 km/h, the motorway speed bin is characterised by a speed higher than 90 km/h.

              For those vehicles that are equipped with a device permanently limiting vehicle speed to 90 km/h, the motorway speed bin is characterised by a speed higher than 80 km/h.

              Expressway speed bin (for 3-phase analysis) is characterised by speeds above 60 km/h and up to 100 km/h.

              A complete trip for 4-phase analysis consists of urban, rural and motorway bins whereby a complete trip for 3-phase analysis consists of urban and expressway bins.

              9.1.1.  Other requirements

              The average speed (including stops) of the urban speed bin shall be between 15 and 40 km/h.

              The speed range of the motorway driving shall properly cover a range between 90 and at least 110 km/h. The vehicle's speed shall be above 100 km/h for at least 5 minutes.

              For M2 category vehicles that are equipped with a device permanently limiting vehicle speed to 100 km/h, the speed range of the motorway speed bin shall properly cover a range between 90 and 100 km/h. The vehicle's speed shall be above 90 km/h for at least 5 minutes.

              For those vehicles that are equipped with a device limiting vehicle speed to 90 km/h, the speed range of the motorway speed bin shall properly cover a range between 80 and 90 km/h. The vehicle's speed shall be above 80 km/h for at least 5 minutes.

              In the case that the local speed limits for the specific vehicle being tested prevent compliance with the requirements of this paragraph, the requirements of the following paragraph shall apply:

                  The speed range of the motorway driving shall properly cover a range between X – 10 and X km/h. The vehicle's speed shall be above X - 10 km/h for at least 5 minutes. Where X = the local speed limit for the tested vehicle.

              9.2. Required distance shares of trip speed bins

              The following is the distribution of the speed bins in an RDE trip that are required for respecting the needs of evaluation for both the 4-phase WLTC and 3-phase WLTC:

Requirements for evaluation with 4-Phase WLTC                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Requirements for evaluation with 3-Phase WLTC

The trip shall consist of approximately 34 per cent urban, 33 per cent rural and 33 per cent motorway speed bins. 'Approximately' shall mean the interval of ±10 per cent points around the stated percentages. The urban speed bin shall however never be less than 29 per
