Article 1 Innovative technology

The technology used in a 48 Volt efficient motor-generator combined with a 48 Volt/12 Volt DC/DC converter is approved as an innovative technology within the meaning of Article 11 of Regulation (EU) 2019/631 taking into account that the CO₂ savings it delivers are only partially covered by the standard test procedure set out in Regulation (EU) 2017/1151, and provided that the technology conforms to the following:

1. (a)

   it is fitted in passenger cars (M₁) or light commercial vehicles (N₁) powered by internal combustion engines running on petrol or diesel (conventional ICE powered M₁ and N₁ vehicles) or in not-off-vehicle charging hybrid electric vehicles of category M₁ or N₁ for which uncorrected measured fuel consumption and CO₂ emission values may be used in accordance with paragraph 1.1.4 of Appendix 2, Sub-annex 8 to Annex XXI to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151;

2. (b)

   its efficiency, which is the product of the efficiency of the 48 Volt motor-generator and the efficiency of the 48 Volt/12 Volt DC/DC converter, determined in accordance with point 2.3 of the Annex, is at least

   1. (i)

      73,8 % for petrol-fuelled vehicles other than turbo-charged;

   2. (ii)

      73,4 % for turbo-charged petrol-fuelled vehicles;

   3. (iii)

      74,2 % for diesel-fuelled vehicles.
