# Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/1222 of 24 August 2020 on the approval of efficient vehicle exterior lighting using light emitting diodes as an innovative technology for reducing CO2 emissions from internal combustion engine powered light commercial vehicles with regard to NEDC conditions pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council (Text with EEA relevance), Division 3: CALCULATION OF THE CO2 SAVINGS

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

The CO2 savings shall be calculated in accordance with Formula 4.
Formula 4
where,
vis the mean driving speed of the NEDC, which is 33,58 km/h
ηA is the efficiency of the alternator, which is 0,67
UFi is the usage factor of the vehicle light i as defined in Table 4
VPe is the consumption of effective power for each fuel approved, as defined in Table 5
CFis the fuel conversion factor as defined in Table 6.
