3.2.4.1. For communication, the weighted values shall be calculated as below:

         Mi = ( De  M1i + Dav  M2i ) / ( De + Dav )

              Where :

                Mi = mass emission of the pollutant i in grams per kilometre
                M1i = average mass emission of the pollutant i in grams per kilometre with a fully charged electrical energy/power storage device calculated in paragraph 3.2.2.7.
                M2i = average mass emission of the pollutant i in grams per kilometre with an electrical energy/power storage device in minimum state of charge (maximum discharge of capacity) calculated in paragraph 3.2.3.5.
                De = vehicle electric range with the switch in pure electric position, according to the procedure described in Regulation No. 101, Annex 7.  If there is not a pure electric position, the manufacturer must provide the means for performing the measurement with the vehicle running in pure electric mode.
                Dav = 25 km (average distance between two battery recharge)

         3.3. NOT  EXTERNALLY  CHARGEABLE  (NOTOVC  HEV)  WITHOUT  AN OPERATING  MODE  SWITCH

         3.3.1. These vehicles shall be tested according to Annex 4.

         3.3.2. For preconditioning, at least two consecutive complete driving cycles (one Part One and one Part Two) are carried out without soak.

         3.3.3. The vehicle shall be driven according to Annex 4, or in case of special gear shifting strategy according to the manufacturer's instructions, as incorporated in the drivers' handbook of production vehicles and indicated by a technical gear shift instrument (for drivers' information).  For these vehicles the gear shifting points prescribed in Annex 4, Appendix 1 are not applied.  For the pattern of the operating curve the description according to paragraph 2.3.3. in Annex 4 shall apply.

         3.4. NOT EXTERNALLY CHARGEABLE (NOTOVC HEV) WITH AN OPERATING MODE SWITCH

         3.4.1. These vehicles are preconditioned and tested in hybrid mode according to Annex 4.  If several hybrid modes are available, the test shall be carried out in the mode that is automatically set after turn on of the ignition key (normal mode).  On the basis of information provided by the manufacturer, the Technical Service will make sure that the limit values are met in all hybrid modes.

         3.4.2. For preconditioning, at least two consecutive complete driving cycles (one Part One and one Part Two) shall be carried out without soak.

         3.4.3. The vehicle shall be driven according to Annex 4, or in case of special gear shifting strategy according to the manufacturer's instructions, as incorporated in the drivers' handbook of production vehicles and indicated by a technical gear shift instrument (for drivers' information).  For these vehicles the gear shifting points prescribed in Annex 4, Appendix 1 are not applied.  For the pattern of the operating curve the description according to paragraph
