Article 3 Application for certification of CO2 savings
United Kingdom
The manufacturer may apply for certification of the CO2 savings from one or several efficient 12 V motor-generators intended for use in conventional combustion-engine-powered M1 vehicles, provided that each motor-generator complies with the following conditions:
where the mass of the efficient 12 V motor-generator does not exceed the mass of the baseline alternator of 7 kg and the efficiency of the generator function, determined in accordance with the Annex, is at least:
- (i)
73,8 % for petrol-fuelled vehicles;
- (ii)
73,4 % for petrol turbo-fuelled vehicles;
- (iii)
74,2 % for diesel-fuelled vehicles;
or,
where the mass of the 12 V motor generator exceeds the mass of the baseline alternator as specified in point (a), the extra mass is taken into account in accordance with Formula 10 set out in the Annex and meets the minimum reduction threshold of 1 g CO2/km, specified in Article 9(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011.
The extra mass shall be verified and confirmed in the verification report to be submitted to the type approval authority together with the application for certifications.
An application for the certification of the savings from one or several efficient 12 V motor generators shall be accompanied by a verification report from an independent and certified body certifying that the efficient 12 V motor-generator(s) comply with the conditions set out in paragraph 1, and verifying and confirming the mass of the 12 V motor-generators.
The type approval authority shall reject the application for certification if it finds that the efficient 12 V motor-generator(s) do not comply with the conditions set out in paragraph 1.
