  "text": "1. The following CO2 emissions shall be demonstrated for a number of vehicles representative of the individual vehicles indicated in accordance with Article 4(2)(d):\n(a) the CO 2 emissions from the baseline vehicle and from the eco-innovation vehicle with the innovative technology in operation resulting from the application of the methodology referred to in point (e) of Article 4(2) and, where appropriate, the application of the simplified evaluation method referred to in point (ea) of that Article;\n(b) the CO 2 emissions from the baseline vehicle and from the eco-innovation vehicle with the innovative technology in operation resulting from the application of the standard test procedure as specified in accordance with Article 2(4)(a) or (b).\nThe demonstration of the CO2 emissions in accordance with points (a) and (b) of the first subparagraph shall be carried out under testing conditions that are identical for all tests.\n2. The total savings for an individual vehicle shall be the difference between the emissions demonstrated in accordance with point (a) of the first subparagraph of paragraph 1.\nWhere there is a difference between the emissions demonstrated in accordance with point (b) of the first subparagraph of paragraph 1, that difference shall be subtracted from the total savings demonstrated in accordance with point (a) of the first subparagraph of paragraph 1.\nIn the case of applications for the approval of an innovative technology as an eco-innovation made by reference to Article 2(4)(b), the uncertainty shall be assessed and quantified for the purpose of determining the savings. The quantified uncertainty shall be subtracted from the total savings.\n3. In the case of predefined CO 2 savings values proposed in accordance with Article 4(2)(ea), those values shall be set at a level that is lower or equal to the total savings determined in accordance with paragraph 2.",
