In Annex 6 of UN/ECE Regulation 101, section 1.4.3 shall be replaced by the following:

  1. 1.4.3.

    The fuel consumption, expressed in litres per 100 km (in the case of petrol (E5/E10), LPG, ethanol (E85) and diesel (B5/B7)), in m 3 per 100 km (in the case of NG/biomethane and H 2 NG) or in kg per 100 km (in the case of hydrogen) is calculated by means of the following formulae:

    1. (a)

      for vehicles with a positive ignition engine fuelled with petrol (E5):

      FC = 0,118 ∕ D × 0,848 × HC + 0,429 × CO + 0,273 × CO 2

    2. (b)

      for vehicles with a positive ignition engine fuelled with petrol (E10):

      FC = 0,120 ∕ D × 0,830 × HC + 0,429 × CO + 0,273 × CO 2

    3. (c)

      for vehicles with a positive ignition engine fuelled with LPG:

      FC norm = 0,1212 ∕ 0,538 × 0,825 × HC + 0,429 × CO + 0,273 × CO 2

      If the composition of the fuel used for the test differs from the composition that is assumed for the calculation of the normalised consumption, on the manufacturer’s request a correction factor cf may be applied, as follows:

      FC norm = 0,1212 ∕ 0,538 × cf × 0,825 × HC + 0,429 × CO + 0,273 × CO 2

      The correction factor cf, which may be applied, is determined as follows:

      cf = 0,825 + 0,0693 n actual

      where:

      n actual
    4. the actual H/C ratio of the fuel used

  2. (d)

    for vehicles with a positive ignition engine fuelled with NG/biomethane:

    FC norm = 0,1336 ∕ 0,654 × 0,749 × HC + 0,429 × CO + 0,273 × CO 2

  3. (e)

    for vehicles with a positive ignition engine fuelled with ethanol (E85):

    FC = 0,1742 ∕ D × 0,574 × HC + 0,429 × CO + 0,273 × CO 2

  4. (f)

    for vehicles with a compression ignition engine fuelled with diesel (B5):

    FC = 0,116 ∕ D × 0,861 × HC + 0,429 × CO + 0,273 × CO 2

  5. (g)

    for vehicles with a compression ignition engine fuelled with diesel (B7):

    FC = 0,116 ∕ D × 0,859 × HC + 0,429 × CO + 0,273 × CO 2

  6. (h)

    for vehicles with a positive ignition engine fuelled by H 2 NG:

    FC = 910,4 × A + 13600 44,655 × A 2 + 667,08 × A 7,848 × A 9,104 × A + 136 × HC + 0,429 × CO + 0,273 × CO 2

  7. (i)

    for vehicles fuelled by gaseous hydrogen:

    FC = 0,024 × V d × 1 Z 2 × p 2 T 2 − 1 Z 1 × p 1 T 1

    Under previous agreement with the type-approval authority, and for vehicles fuelled either by gaseous or liquid hydrogen, the manufacturer may choose as alternative to the method above, either the formula

    FC = 0,1 × 0,1119 × H 2 O + H 2

    or a method according to standard protocols such as SAE J2572.

    In these formulae:

    FC
  8. the fuel consumption in litre per 100 km (in the case of petrol, ethanol, LPG, diesel or biodiesel) in m 3 per 100 km (in the case of natural gas and H 2 NG) or in kg per 100 km in the case of hydrogen.
