Division 5 FORMULAE FOR CALCULATING THE CO2 SAVINGS

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

The relative CO2 reduction potential ΔCO2(t) for different parking times shall be calculated using formula 5 with the following input data:

  • decay constant of the eco-innovation vehicle without an engine compartment encapsulation (baseline vehicle): dB [1/h]. This value shall be calculated with formula 1;

  • decay constant of eco-innovation vehicle with an engine compartment encapsulation: dE [1/h]. This value shall be calculated with formula 1;

  • Hot Start Benefit: HSB. This value shall be calculated with formula 2;

  • parking time distribution (share of vehicle stops): SVS. Table 2 (below) shall be used;

  • CO2 type-approval value: TACO2 [g CO2/km], i.e. CO2 mass emissions combined.

Formula 5: ΔCO 2 = 1,443 × ln e − d E × t + 1 e − d B × t + 1 × HSB

The calculation results shall be given in the following Table 1:

Table 1

Relative CO2 reduction potential ΔCO2(t) for different parking times

Parking time [h]0,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,510,511,5
ΔCO2(t) [%]
Parking time [h]12,513,514,515,516,517,518,519,520,521,522,523,5
ΔCO2(t) [%]

The total CO2 savings, weighted by the parking times (pt) shall be calculated using formula 6f1.

Formula 6: C CO 2 = TA CO 2 × ∑ pt = 1 24 ΔCO 2 t pt × SVS pt

Where the values for parking time [h] and SVS [%] shall be those in Table 2:

Table 2

Parking time distribution (share of vehicle stops)

Parking time [h]0,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,510,511,5

SVS [%]133211111111

The CO2 savings shall be the type-approval value (CO2 mass emissions combined) multiplied by a factor of xf2. The value of x is equal to the term ∑ ΔCO 2 t pt × SVS pt of formula 6.

Where an existing vehicle type is equipped with the innovative technology the following formula shall be used:

Formula 7: C CO 2 = x * TA CO 2 baseline vehicle

with:

CCO2
  • CO2 savings [g CO2/km]

  • TACO2 baseline vehicle
  • type-approval value of the eco-innovation vehicle without an engine compartment encapsulation [g CO2/km]

  • Where the innovative technology is installed on a new vehicle type and the type-approval CO2 value has been determined with the innovative technology installed, the following formula for calculating the CO2 savings shall be used:

    Formula 8: C CO 2 = x ∕ 1 − x *TA CO 2 new vehicle type

    with:

    CCO2
  • CO2 savings [g CO2/km]

  • TACO2 new vehicle type
  • type-approval value of the new vehicle type equipped with the innovative technology [g CO2/km]
