"Electric range", for vehicles powered by an electric power train only or by 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.

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 K_i 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 average still exceeds the declared value by more than 4 per cent, a final test is run on the same vehicle. The average of the three test results is taken as the type approval value.

6. MODIFICATION AND EXTENSION OF APPROVAL OF THE APPROVED TYPE

6.1. Every modification of the approved type shall be notified to the administrative department which approved the type. The department may then either:

6.1.1. Consider that the modifications made are unlikely to have an appreciable adverse effect on the values of CO₂ and fuel consumption or electric energy consumption and that, in this case, the original approval will be valid for the modified vehicle type; or

6.1.2. Require a further test report from the technical service responsible for conducting the tests according to conditions in paragraph 7. of this Regulation.

6.2. Confirmation or extension of approval, specifying the alterations, shall be communicated by the procedure specified in paragraph 4.3. to the Parties to the 1958 Agreement applying this Regulation.

6.3. The competent authority which grants the extension of the approval shall assign a series number for such an extension and inform thereof the other Parties to the 1958 Agreement applying this Regulation by means of a communication form conforming to the model in Annex 4 to this Regulation.

7.5. Extension of approval of vehicles of category N₁ within a family, if powered by an internal combustion engine only or by a hybrid electric power train

7.5.1. For vehicles of category N₁ that are approved as members of a vehicle family using the procedure in paragraph 7.6.2., the type-approval can be extended to vehicles from within the same family only if the technical service estimates that the fuel consumption of the new vehicle does not exceed the fuel consumption of the vehicle on which the family's fuel consumption is based.

Approvals may also be extended to vehicles which:

(a) are up to 110 kg heavier than the family member tested, provided that they are within 220 kg of the lightest member of the family,

(b) have a lower overall transmission ratio than the family member tested due solely to a change in tyre sizes, and

(c) conform with the family in all other respects.

7.5.2. For vehicles of category N₁ that are approved as members of a vehicle family using the procedure in paragraph 7.6.3., the type-approval can be extended to vehicles from within the same family without additional testing only if the technical service estimates that the fuel consumption of the new vehicle falls within the limits made up of those two vehicles in the family that have the lowest and the highest fuel consumption, respectively.

7.6. Approval of vehicles of category N₁ within a family, if powered by an internal combustion engine only or by a hybrid electric power train

Vehicles of category N₁ can be approved within a family as defined in paragraph 7.6.1. using one of the two alternative methods described in paragraphs 7.6.2. and 7.6.3.

7.6.1. N₁ vehicles may be grouped together into a family for the purposes of this Regulation if the following parameters are identical or within the specified limits:

7.6.1.1. Identical parameters are:
(a) manufacturer and type as defined in Annex 4, item 2.,

(b) engine capacity,

(c) emission control system type,

(d) fuel system type as defined in Annex 4, item 6.7.2.

7.6.1.2. The following parameters have to be within the following limits:

(a) transmission overall ratios (no more than 8 per cent higher than the lowest) as defined in Annex 4, item 6.10.3.,

(b) reference mass (no more than 220 kg lighter than the heaviest),

(c) frontal area (no more than 15 per cent smaller than the largest),

(d) engine power (no more than 10 per cent less than the highest value).

7.6.2. A vehicle family, as defined in paragraph 7.6.1., can be approved with CO₂ emission and fuel consumption data that are common to all members of the family. The technical service must select for testing the member of the family which the service considers to have the highest CO₂ emission. The measurements are performed as described in paragraph 5. and Annex 6, and the results according to the method described in paragraph 5.5. are used as type-approval values that are common to all members of the family.

7.6.3. Vehicles that are grouped in a family as defined in paragraph 7.6.1. can be approved with individual CO2 emission and fuel consumption data for each of the family members. The technical service selects for testing the two vehicles, which the service considers to have the highest and the lowest CO2 emissions respectively. The measurements are performed as described in paragraph 5. and Annex 6. If the manufacturer's data for these two vehicles falls within the tolerance limits described in paragraph 5.5., the CO2 emissions declared by the manufacturer for all members of the vehicle family can be used as type-approval values. If the manufacturer's data do not fall within the tolerance limits, the results according to the method described in paragraph 5.5. are used as type-approval values and the technical service shall select an appropriate number of other family members for additional tests

8. SPECIAL PROVISIONS

In the future, vehicles with special energy efficient technologies may be offered which could be submitted to complementary testing programmes. These would be specified at a later stage which can be claimed by the manufacturer in order to demonstrate the advantages of the solution.

9. CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION

9.1. Vehicles approved to this Regulation shall be so manufactured as to conform to the type approved vehicle.

9.2. So as to verify that the conditions set out in paragraph 9.1. are complied with, appropriate production checks shall be carried out.

9.3. Vehicles powered by an internal combustion engine only:

9.3.1. As a general rule, measures to ensure the conformity of production with regard to CO2 emissions from vehicles are checked on the basis of the description in the type approval certificate conforming to the model in Annex 4 of this Regulation.

The control of production conformity is based on an assessment made by the competent authority of the manufacturer's auditing procedure in order to ensure conformity of the vehicle type with respect to the emission of CO2.

If the authority is not satisfied with the standard of the manufacturer's auditing procedure, they may require that verification tests be carried out on vehicles in production.

9.3.1.1. If a measurement of the emissions of CO2 must be carried out on a vehicle type that has had one or several extensions, the tests will be carried out on the vehicle(s) available at the time of the test (vehicle(s) described in the first document or in subsequent extensions).

9.3.1.1.1. Conformity of the vehicle for the CO₂ test.

9.3.1.1.1.1. Three vehicles are randomly taken in the series and are tested according to the procedure as described in Annex 6.

9.3.1.1.1.2. If the authority is satisfied with the production standard deviation given by the manufacturer, the tests are carried out according to paragraph 9.3.2.

If the authority is not satisfied with the production standard deviation given by the manufacturer, the tests are carried out according to paragraph 9.3.3.

9.3.1.1.1.3. The production of a series is regarded as conforming or non-conforming, on the basis of tests on the three sampled vehicles, once a pass or fail decision is reached for CO₂, according to the test criteria applied in the appropriate table.

If no pass or fail decision is reached for CO₂, a test is carried out on an additional vehicle (see figure 1).

9.3.1.1.1.4. In the case of periodically regenerating systems as defined in paragraph 2.16., the results shall be multiplied by the factor K_i obtained by the procedure specified in Annex 10 at the time when type approval was granted.

At the request of the manufacturer, testing may be carried out immediately after a regeneration has been completed.

Figure 1

9.3.1.1.2. Notwithstanding the requirements of Annex 6, the tests will be carried out on vehicles which have not travelled any distance.

9.3.1.1.2.1. However, at the request of the manufacturer, the tests will be carried out on vehicles which have been run-in a maximum of 15,000 km.

In this case, the running-in procedure will be conducted by the manufacturer who shall undertake not to make any adjustments to those vehicles.

9.3.1.1.2.2. If the manufacturer asks to conduct a running-in procedure (‘x’ km, where x ≤ 15,000 km), it may be carried out as follows:

The emissions of CO₂ will be measured at zero and at ‘x’ km on the first tested vehicle (which can be the type approval vehicle);

The evolution coefficient (EC) of the emissions between zero and ‘x’ km will be calculated as follows:

The value of EC may be less than 1.

The following vehicles will not be subjected to the running-in procedure, but their zero km emissions will be modified by the evolution coefficient, EC.

In this case, the values to be taken will be:

The value at ‘x’ km for the first vehicle;

The values at zero km multiplied by the evolution coefficient for the following vehicles.

9.3.1.1.2.3. As an alternative to this procedure, the car manufacturer can use a fixed evolution coefficient, EC, of 0.92 and multiply all values of CO₂ measured at zero km by this factor.

9.3.1.1.2.4. The reference fuels described in Annex 9 of Regulation No. 83 shall be used for this test.

9.3.2. Conformity of production when manufacturer’s statistical data is available.

9.3.2.1. The following sections describe the procedure to be used to verify the CO₂ conformity of production requirements when the manufacturer’s production standard deviation is satisfactory.

9.3.2.2. With a minimum sample size of three the sampling procedure is set so that the probability of a lot passing a test with 40 per cent of the production defective is 0.95 (producer's risk = 5 per cent) while the probability of a lot being accepted with 65 per cent of the production defective is 0.1 (consumer's risk = 10 per cent).

9.3.2.3. The following procedure is used (see figure 1):

Let L be the natural logarithm of the CO₂ type approval value:

x_I= the natural logarithm of the measurement for the i-th vehicle of the sample;

s = an estimate of the production standard deviation (after taking the natural logarithm of the measurements);

n = the current sample number.

9.3.2.4. Compute for the sample, the test statistic quantifying the sum of the standardized deviations to the limit and defined as:

9.3.2.5. Then:

9.3.2.5.1. if the test statistic is greater than the pass decision number for the sample given in table 1, a pass decision is reached;

9.3.2.5.2. if the test statistic is less than the fail decision number for the sample size given in table 1, a fail decision is reached;

9.3.2.5.3. otherwise, an additional vehicle is tested according to Annex 6 and the procedure is applied to the sample with one unit more.

9.3.3. Conformity of production when manufacturer’s statistical data is unsatisfactory or unavailable.

9.3.3.1. The following sections describe the procedure to be used to verify the CO₂ conformity of production requirements when the manufacturer’s evidence of production standard deviation is either unsatisfactory or unavailable.

9.3.3.2. With a minimum sample size of three the sampling procedure is set so that the probability of a lot passing a test with 40 per cent of the production defective is 0.95 (producer's risk = 5 per cent) while the probability of a lot being accepted with 65 per cent of the production defective is 0.1 (consumer's risk = 10 per cent).

9.3.3.3. The measurement of CO₂ is considered to be log normally distributed and should first be transformed by taking the natural logarithms. Let m_o and m denote the minimum and maximum sample sizes respectively (m_o = 3 and m = 32) and let n denote the current sample number.

9.3.3.4. If the natural logarithms of the measurements in the series are x₁, x₂, ..., x_j and L is the natural logarithm of the CO₂ type approval value, then define:

9.3.3.5. Table 2 shows values of the pass (A_n) and fail (B_n) decision numbers against current sample number. The test statistic is the ratio and shall be used to determine whether the series has passed or failed as follows:

for m_o £ n £ m:

9.3.3.5.1. pass the series if ;

9.3.3.5.2. fail the series if ;

9.3.3.5.3. take another measurement if .

6.3.1.1. The electricity balance Q [Ah], measured using the procedure specified in appendix 2 to this annex, is used as a measure of the difference in the vehicle battery’s energy content at the end of the cycle compared to the beginning of the cycle. The electricity balance is to be determined separately for the Part One cycle and the Part Two cycle.

6.3.2. Under the conditions below, it is allowed to take the uncorrected measured values C and M as the test results:

1) in case the manufacturer can prove that there is no relation between the energy balance and fuel consumption,

2) in case that DE_batt always corresponds to a battery charging

3) in case that DE_batt always corresponds to a battery decharging and DE_batt is within 1 per cent of the energy content of the consumed fuel (consumed fuel meaning the total fuel consumption over 1 cycle)

The change in battery energy content DE_batt can be calculated from the measured electricity balance Q as follows:

DE_batt = DSOC(%)·E_TEbatt @ 0.0036·|DAh|·V_batt = 0.0036·Q·V_batt (MJ)

with E_TEbatt [MJ] the total energy storage capacity of the battery and V_batt [V] the nominal battery voltage.

6.3.3. Fuel consumption correction coefficient (K_fuel) defined by the manufacturer

6.3.3.1. The fuel consumption correction coefficient (K_fuel) shall be determined from a set of n measurements performed by the manufacturer. This set should contain at least one measurement with Q_i < 0 and at least one with Q_j > 0.

If the latter condition can not be realised on the driving cycle (Part One or Part Two) used in this test, then it is up to the Technical Service to judge the statistical significance of the extrapolation necessary to determine the fuel consumption value at DE_batt = 0.

6.3.3.2. The fuel consumption correction coefficient (K_fuel) is defined as:
K_fuel= (n·SQ_iC_i- SQ_i·SC_i) / (n·SQ_i² – (SQ_i)²) (l/100 km/Ah)

where:

C_i : fuel consumption measured during i-th manufacturer’s test (l/100 km)

Q_i : electricity balance measured during i-th manufacturer’s test (Ah)

n : number of data

The fuel consumption correction coefficient shall be rounded to four significant figures (e.g. 0.xxxx or xx.xx). The statistical significance of the fuel consumption correction coefficient is to be judged by the Technical Service.

6.3.3.3. Separate fuel consumption correction coefficients shall be determined for the fuel consumption values measured over the Part One cycle and the Part Two cycle respectively.

6.3.4. Fuel consumption at zero battery energy balance (C₀)

6.3.4.1. The fuel consumption C₀ at DE_batt = 0 is determined by the following equation:

C₀ = C – K_fuel·Q (l/100 km)

where:

C : fuel consumption measured during test (l/100 km)

Q : electricity balance measured during test (Ah)

6.3.4.2. Fuel consumption at zero battery energy balance shall be determined separately for the fuel consumption values measured over the Part One cycle and the Part Two cycle respectively.

6.3.5. CO₂-emission correction coefficient (K_CO2) defined by the manufacturer

6.3.5.1. The CO₂-emission correction coefficient (K_CO2) shall be determined as follows from a set of n measurements performed by the manufacturer. This set should contain at least one measurement with Q_i < 0 and at least one with Q_j > 0.

If the latter condition can not be realised on the driving cycle (Part One or Part Two) used in this test, then it is up to the Technical Service to judge the statistical significance of the extrapolation necessary to determine the CO₂-emission value at DE_batt = 0.

6.3.5.2. The CO₂-emission correction coefficient (K_CO2) is defined as:

K_CO2= (n·SQ_iM_i- SQ_i·SM_i) / (n·SQ_i² – (SQ_i)²) (g/km/Ah)

where:

M_i: CO₂-emission measured during i-th manufacturer’s test (g/km)

Q_i: electricity balance during i-th manufacturer’s test (Ah)

n: number of data

The CO₂-emission correction coefficient shall be rounded to four significant figures (e.g. 0.xxxx or xx.xx). The statistical significance of the CO₂-emission correction coefficient is to be judged by the Technical Service.

6.3.5.3. Separate CO₂-emission correction coefficients shall be determined for the fuel consumption values measured over the Part One cycle and the Part Two cycle respectively.

6.3.6. CO₂-emission at zero battery energy balance (M₀)

6.3.6.1. The CO₂-emission M₀ at DE_batt = 0 is determined by the following equation:

M₀ = M – K_CO2·Q (g/km)

where:

C: fuel consumption measured during test (l/100 km)

Q: electricity balance measured during test (Ah)

6.3.6.2. CO₂-emission at zero battery energy balance shall be determined separately for the CO₂-emission values measured over the Part One cycle and the Part Two cycle respectively.

METHOD FOR MEASURING THE ELECTRICITY BALANCE OF

THE BATTERY OF OVC AND NOVC HEVS

1. Introduction

1.1. The purpose of this appendix is to define the method and required instrumentation for measuring the electricity balance of Off Vehicle Charging Hybrid Electric Vehicles (OVC HEV and Not Off Vehicle Charging Hybrid Electric Vehicles (NOVC HEVs). Measurement of the electricity balance is necessary

(a) To determine when the minimum state of charge of the battery has been reached during the test procedure defined in paragraphs 3. and 4. of this annex; and

(b) To correct the measured fuel consumption and CO₂-emissions for the change in battery energy content occurring during the test, using the method defined in paragraphs 5. and 6. of this annex.

1.2. The method described in this annex shall be used by the manufacturer for the measurements that are performed to determine the correction factors K_fuel and K_CO2, as defined in paragraphs 5.3.3.2., 5.3.5.2., 6.3.3.2., and 6.3.5.2. of this annex.

The Technical Service shall check whether these measurements have been performed in accordance with the procedure described in this annex.

1.3. The method described in this annex shall be used by the Technical Service for the measurement of the electricity balance Q, as defined in paragraphs 3.2.3.2.2., 4.2.4.2.2., 5.3.4.1., 5.3.6.1., 6.3.4.1., and 6.3.6.1. of this annex.

2. Measurement equipment and instrumentation

2.1. During the tests as described in paragraphs 3., 4., 5. and 6. of this annex, the battery current shall be measured using a current transducer of the clamp-on type or the closed type. The current transducer (i.e. the current sensor without data acquisition equipment) shall have a minimum accuracy of 0.5 per cent of the measured value (in A) or 0.1 per cent of the maximum value of the scale.

OEM diagnostic testers are not to be used for the purpose of this test.

2.1.1. The current transducer shall be fitted on one of the wires directly connected to the battery. In order to easily measure battery current using external measuring equipment, manufacturers should preferably integrate appropriate, safe and accessible connection points in the vehicle. If that is not feasible, the manufacturer is obliged to support the Technical Service by providing the means to connect a current transducer to the wires connected to the battery in the above described manner.

2.1.2. The output of the current transducer shall be sampled with a minimum sample frequency of 5 Hz. The measured current shall be integrated over time, yielding the measured value of Q, expressed in Ampere hours (Ah).

2.1.3. The temperature at the location of the sensor shall be measured and sampled with the same sample frequency as the current, so that this value can be used for possible compensation of the drift of current transducers and, if applicable, the voltage transducer used to convert the output of the current transducer.

2.2. A list of the instrumentation (manufacturer, model no., serial no.) used by the manufacturer for determining:

(a) When the minimum state of charge of the battery has been reached during the test procedure defined in paragraphs 3. and 4. of this annex; and

(b) The correction factors K_fuel and K_CO2 (as defined in paragraphs 5.3.3.2., 5.3.5.2., 6.3.3.2., and 6.3.5.2. of this annex)

and the last calibration dates of the instruments (where applicable) should be provided to the Technical Service.

3. Measurement procedure

3.1. Measurement of the battery current shall start at the same time as the test starts and shall end immediately after the vehicle has driven the complete driving cycle.

3.2. Separate values of Q shall be logged over the Part One and Part Two of the cycle.

EMISSIONS TEST PROCEDURE FOR A VEHICLE EQUIPPED

WITH A PERIODICALLY REGENERATING SYSTEM

1.INTRODUCTION

1.1. This annex defines the specific provisions regarding type approval of a vehicle equipped with a periodically regenerating system as defined in paragraph 2.19 of this Regulation.

2. SCOPE AND EXTENSION OF THE TYPE APPROVAL

2.1. Vehicle family groups equipped with periodically regenerating system

The procedure applies to vehicles equipped with a periodically regenerating system as defined in paragraph 2.19. of this Regulation. For the purpose of this annex vehicle family groups may be established. Accordingly, those vehicle types with regenerative systems, whose parameters described below are identical, or within the stated tolerances, shall be considered to belong to the same family with respect to measurements specific to the defined periodically regenerating systems.

2.1.1. Identical parameters are:

Engine:

(a) Number of cylinders,

(b) Engine capacity (±15 per cent),

(c) Number of valves,

(d) Fuel system,

(e) Combustion process (2 stroke, 4 stroke, rotary).

Periodically regenerating system (i.e. catalyst, particulate trap):

(a) Construction (i.e. type of enclosure, type of precious metal, type of substrate, cell density),

(b) Type and working principle,

(c) Dosage and additive system,

(d) Volume (±10 per cent),

(e) Location (temperature ±50 °C at 120 km/h or 5 per cent difference of maximum temperature / pressure).

2.2. Vehicle types of different reference masses

The Ki factor developed by the procedures in this annex for type approval of a vehicle type with a periodically regenerating system as defined in paragraph 2.19. of this Regulation, may be extended to other vehicles in the family group with a reference mass within the next two higher equivalent inertia classes or any lower equivalent inertia.

2.3. Instead of carrying out the test procedures defined in the following paragraph, a fixed Ki value of 1.05 may be used, if the technical service sees no reason that this value could be exceeded.
3. TEST PROCEDURE

The vehicle may be equipped with a switch capable of preventing or permitting the regeneration process provided that this operation has no effect on original engine calibration. This switch shall be permitted only for the purpose of preventing regeneration during loading of the regeneration system and during the pre-conditioning cycles. However, it shall not be used during the measurement of emissions during the regeneration phase; rather the emission test shall be carried out with the unchanged Original Equipment Manufacturer's (OEM) control unit.

3.1. Measurement of carbon dioxide emission and fuel consumption between two cycles where regenerative phases occur

3.1.1. The average of carbon dioxide emission and fuel consumption between regeneration phases and during loading of the regenerative device shall be determined from the arithmetic mean of several approximately equidistant (if more than 2) Type I operating cycles or equivalent engine test bench cycles. As an alternative, the manufacturer may provide data to show that the carbon dioxide emission and fuel consumption remain constant (+4 per cent) between regeneration phases. In this case, the carbon dioxide emission and fuel consumption measured during the regular Type I test may be used. In any other case emissions measurement for at least two Type I operating cycles or equivalent engine test bench cycles must be completed: one immediately after regeneration (before new loading) and one as close as possible prior to a regeneration phase. All emissions measurements and calculations shall be carried out according to Annex 6. Determination of average emissions for a single regenerative system shall be according to paragraph 3.3. of this annex and for multiple regeneration systems according to paragraph 3.4. of this annex.

3.1.2. The loading process and Ki determination shall be made during the Type I operating cycle, on a chassis dynamometer or on an engine test bench using an equivalent test cycle. These cycles may be run continuously (i.e. without the need to switch the engine off between cycles). After any number of completed cycles, the vehicle may be removed from the chassis dynamometer, and the test continued at a later time.

3.1.3. The number of cycles (D) between two cycles where regeneration phases occur, the number of cycles over which emissions measurements are made (n), and each emissions measurement (M'sij) shall be reported in Annex 1, items 4.1.11.2.1.10.1. to 4.1.11.2.1.10.4. or 4.1.11.2.5.4.1. to 4.1.11.2.5.4.4. as applicable.

3.2. Measurement of carbon dioxide emission and fuel consumption during regeneration

3.2.1. Preparation of the vehicle, if required, for the emissions test during a regeneration phase, may be completed using the preparation cycles in paragraph 6.3. of Annex 4a of Regulation No. 83 or equivalent engine test bench cycles, depending on the loading procedure chosen in paragraph 3.1.2. above.

3.2.2. The test and vehicle conditions for the test described in Annex 6 apply before the first valid emission test is carried out.

3.2.3. Regeneration must not occur during the preparation of the vehicle. This may be ensured by one of the following methods:

3.2.3.1. A “dummy” regenerating system or partial system may be fitted for the pre-conditioning cycles.

3.2.3.2. Any other method agreed between the manufacturer and the type approval authority.

3.2.4. A cold-start exhaust emission test including a regeneration process shall be performed according to the Type I operating cycle, or equivalent engine test bench cycle. If the emissions tests between two cycles where regeneration phases occur are carried out on an engine test bench, the emissions test including a regeneration phase shall also be carried out on an engine test bench.

3.2.5. If the regeneration process requires more than one operating cycle, subsequent test cycle(s) shall be driven immediately, without switching the engine off, until complete regeneration has been achieved (each cycle shall be completed). The time necessary to set up a new test should be as short as possible (e.g. particular matter filter change). The engine must be switched off during this period.

3.2.6. The carbon dioxide emission and fuel consumption values during regeneration (Mri) shall be calculated according to Annex 6. The number of operating cycles (d) measured for complete regeneration shall be recorded.

3.3. Calculation of the combined carbon dioxide emission and fuel consumption of a single regenerative system

(1) n ³ 2

(2)

where for each carbon dioxide emission and fuel consumption considered:

M'_sij=     mass emissions of CO₂ in g/km and fuel consumption in l/100 km over one part (i) of the operating cycle (or equivalent engine test bench cycle) without regeneration;
M'_rij      =     mass emissions of CO₂ in g/km and fuel consumption in l/100 km over one part (i) of the operating cycle (or equivalent engine test bench cycle) during regeneration. (when n > 1, the first Type I test is run cold, and subsequent cycles are hot);
M_si       =     mean mass emissions of CO₂ in g/km and fuel consumption in l/100 km over one part (i) of the operating cycle without regeneration;
M_ri       =     mean mass emissions of CO₂ in g/km and fuel consumption in l/100 km over one part (i) of the operating cycle during regeneration;
M_pi       =     mean mass emission of CO₂ in g/km and fuel consumption in l/100 km;
n          =     number of test points at which emissions measurements (Type I operating cycles or equivalent engine test bench cycles) are made between two cycles where regenerative phases occur, ³ 2;
d          =     number of operating cycles required for regeneration;
D         =     number of operating cycles between two cycles where regenerative phases occur.

For an illustration of measurement parameters see figure 10/1.

Figure 10/1

Parameters measured during carbon dioxide emission and fuel consumption test during and between cycles where regeneration occurs (schematic example, the emissions during 'D' may increase or decrease)

3.3.1. Calculation of the regeneration factor K for carbon dioxide emission and fuel consumption (i) considered

K_i = M_pi / M_si

M_si, M_pi and K_i results shall be recorded in the test report delivered by the Technical Service.
K_i may be determined following the completion of a single sequence.
3.4. Calculation of the combined CO2-emission and fuel consumption of multiple regenerating systems

(1) n_k ≥ 2

(2)

(7)

where:
M_si = mass emission of all events k of CO2 in g/km and fuel consumption in l/100 km (i) without regeneration;

M_ri = mass emission of all events k of CO2 in g/km and fuel consumption in l/100 km (i) during regeneration;

M_pi = mass emission of all events k of CO2 in g/km and fuel consumption in l/100 km (i);

M_sik = mass emission of event k of CO2 in g/km and fuel consumption in l/100 km (i) without regeneration;

M_rik = mass emission of event k of CO2 in g/km and fuel consumption in l/100 km (i) during regeneration;

M'_sik,j = mass emission of event k of CO2 in g/km and fuel consumption in l/100 km (i) over one Type I operating cycle (or equivalent engine test bench cycle) without regeneration measured at point j;
1 ≤ j ≤ n;

M'_rik,j= mass emission of event k of CO2 in g/km and fuel consumption in l/100 km (i) over one Type I operating cycle (or equivalent engine test bench cycle) during regeneration (when j > 1, the first Type I test is run cold, and subsequent cycles are hot) measured at operating cycle j; 1 ≤ j ≤ d;

nk = number of test points of event k at which emissions measurements (Type I operating cycles or equivalent engine test bench cycles) are made between two cycles where regenerative phases occur, ³;

dk = number of operating cycles of event k required for regeneration;

Dk = number of operating cycles of event k between two cycles where regenerative phases occur.

For an illustration of measurement parameters see Figure 10/2 (below)

Figures 10/2 and 10/3

Parameters measured during emissions test during and between cycles where regeneration occurs (schematic example)

For more details of the schematic process see Figure 10/3
For application of a simple and realistic case, the following description gives a detailed explanation of the schematic example shown in Figure 10/3 above):
1. DPF: regenerative, equidistant events, similar emissions (±15 per cent) from event to event

D_k = D_k+1 = D₁

d_k = d_k+1 = d₁

M_rik– M_sik = M_rik+1 – M_sik+1

n_k = n

2. DeNOx: the desulphurisation (SO₂ removal) event is initiated before an influence of sulphur on emissions is detectable (±15 per cent of measured emissions) and in this example for exothermic reason together with the last DPF regeneration event performed.

M'_sik,j=1 = constant à M_sik = M_sik+1 = M_si2

M_rik = M_rik+1 = M_ri2

For SO₂ removal event:

M_ri2, M_si2, d₂, D₂, n₂ = 1

3. Complete system (DPF + DeNOx):

The calculation of the factor (K_i) for multiple periodic regenerating systems is only possible after a certain number of regeneration phases for each system. After performing the complete procedure (A to B, see Figure 10/2), the original starting conditions A should be reached again.

3.4.1. Extension of approval for a multiple periodic regeneration system

3.4.1.1. If the technical parameter(s) and or the regeneration strategy of a multiple regeneration system for all events within this combined system are changed, the complete procedure including all regenerative devices should be performed by measurements to update the multiple K_i factor.

3.4.1.2. If a single device of the multiple regeneration system changed only in strategy parameters (i.e. such as “D” and/or “d” for DPF) and the manufacturer could present technical feasible data and information to the Technical Service that:

(a) There is no detectable interaction with the other device(s) of the system, and

(b) The important parameters (i.e. construction, working principle, volume, location etc.) are identical,

the necessary update procedure for K_i could be simplified.

As agreed between the manufacturer and the Technical Service in such a case only a single event of sampling/storage and regeneration should be performed and the test results (“M_si”, “M_ri”) in combination with the changed parameters (“D” and/or “d”) could be introduced in the relevant formula(s) to update the multiple K_i factor in a mathematical way under substitution of the existing basis K_i factor formula(s).”
