Article 1 Innovative technology

The efficient generator function used in a 12 volt motor-generator, as referred to in Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/785, is approved as an innovative technology within the meaning of Article 11 of Regulation (EU) 2019/631, taking into account that it is only partially covered by the standard test procedure set out in Regulation (EC) No 692/2008, and provided that the following conditions are met:

1. (a)

   the innovative technology is fitted in light commercial vehicles (N₁) powered by internal combustion engines running on petrol, diesel, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), compressed natural gas (CNG) or E-85, or in not-off-vehicle charging hybrid electric vehicles (NOVC-HEVs) of the category M₁ or N₁ that comply with point (3) of paragraph 5.3.2 of Annex 8 to Regulation No 101 of the Economic Commission for Europe of the United Nations;

2. (b)

   the efficiency of the generator function, determined in accordance with the methodology set out in the Annex, is at least:

   1. (i)

      73,8 % for petrol- or E85-fuelled vehicles, other than turbo-charged;

   2. (ii)

      73,4 % for turbo-charged petrol- or E85–fuelled vehicles;

   3. (iii)

      74,2 % for diesel-fuelled vehicles;

   4. (iv)

      74,6 % for LPG-fuelled vehicles other than turbo-charged;

   5. (v)

      74,1 % for turbo-charged LPG-fuelled vehicles;

   6. (vi)

      76,3 % for CNG-fuelled vehicles other than turbo-charged;

   7. (vii)

      75,7 % for turbo-charged CNG-fuelled vehicles.
