Division 4.2 Calculate the CO2 savings
United Kingdom
The total CO2 savings of the lighting package are to be calculated by Formulae (2) and (3).
For a petrol-fuelled vehicle:
Formula (2):
For a diesel-fuelled vehicle:
Formula (3):
These formulae present the total CO2 savings of the lighting package in gCO2/km.
The input data for the formulae (2) and (3) are:
Saved electrical power in W of the type of lighting j, which is the result of step 1
Usage factor of the type of lighting j, specified in table 2
a number of types of lightings in the innovative technology package
Mean driving speed of the NEDC, which is 33,58 km/h
Consumption of effective power for petrol-fuelled vehicles, which is 0,264 l/kWh
Consumption of effective power for diesel-fuelled vehicles, which is 0,22 l/kWh
Efficiency of the alternator, which is 0,67
Conversion factor for petrol fuel, which is 2 330 gCO2/l
Conversion factor for diesel fuel, which is 2 640 gCO2/l

Usage factor for different type of lighting
| Type of lighting | usage factor UF |
|---|---|
| Low beam headlamp | 0,33 |
| High beam headlamp | 0,03 |
| Front position | 0,36 |
| License plate | 0,36 |
