in Watt hours per kilometre (Wh/km) and the range in km, both rounded to the nearest whole number.

        5.4. Description of tests for vehicles powered by a hybrid electric power train

        5.4.1. The technical service in charge of the tests conducts the measurement of the emissions of CO2 and of the electric energy consumption according to the test procedure described in Annex 8.

        5.4.2. The results of the test for CO2 emissions must be expressed in grams per kilometre (g/km) rounded to the nearest whole number.

        5.4.3. Fuel consumption values must be expressed in litres per 100 km (in the case of petrol, LPG or diesel) or in m3 per 100 km (in the case of NG), and are calculated according to paragraph 1.4.3. of Annex 6 by the carbon balance method using the measured emissions of CO2 and the other carbon related emissions (CO and HC).  The results will be rounded to the first decimal place.

        5.4.4. For the purpose of the calculation mentioned in paragraph 5.4.3., the prescriptions and values of paragraph 5.2.4. shall apply.

        5.4.5. If applicable, the result of the electric energy consumption must be expressed in Watt hours per kilometre (Wh/km), rounded to the nearest whole number.

        5.4.6. The technical service in charge of the tests conducts the measurement of the electric range of the vehicle according to the method described in Annex 9 to this Regulation.  The result shall be expressed in km, rounded to the nearest whole number.

         The electric range measured by this method is the only one which may be included in sales promotional material and which may be used for the calculations of Annex 8.

        5.5. Interpretation of results

        5.5.1. The CO2 value or the value of electric energy consumption adopted as the type approval value shall be the value declared by the manufacturer if the value measured by the technical service does not exceed the declared value by more than 4 per cent.  The measured value can be lower without any limitations.

         In the case of vehicles powered by an internal combustion engine only which are equipped with periodically regenerating systems as defined in paragraph 2.16., the results are multiplied by the factor Ki obtained from Annex 10 before being compared to the declared value.

        5.5.2. If the measured value of CO2 or electric energy consumption exceeds the manufacturer's declared CO2 or electric energy consumption value by more than 4 per cent, then another test is run on the same vehicle.

         When the average of the two test results does not exceed the manufacturer's declared value by more than 4 per cent, then the value declared by the manufacturer is taken as the type approval value.

        5.5.3. If the
