  • 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

    • CF

  • is the fuel conversion factor as defined in Table 6.
