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.

        2.18. "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 documents in triplicate and the following particulars:

        3.2.1. A description of the essential characteristics of the vehicle comprising all the particulars referred to in Annex 1, Annex 2 or Annex 3, depending on the power train type.  At the request of the technical service in charge of the tests or the manufacturer, complementary technical information could be considered for specific vehicles which are particularly fuel efficient.

        3.2.2. Description of the basic features of the vehicle, including those used in drafting Annex 4.

        3.3. A vehicle, representative of the vehicle type to be approved, shall be submitted to the technical services responsible for conducting approval tests.  For M1 and N1 vehicles, type-approved with respect to their emissions according to Regulation No. 83, the technical service will check during the test that this vehicle, if powered by an internal combustion engine only or by a hybrid electric power train, conforms to the limit values applicable to that type, as described in Regulation No. 83

        3.4. The competent authority shall verify the existence of satisfactory provisions to ensure an effective check of conformity of production before approval of the vehicle type is granted.

        4. APPROVAL

        4.1. If the emissions of CO2 and fuel consumption and/or the electric energy consumption and electric range of the vehicle type submitted for
