For the valid trips, the final RDE results are calculated as follows for vehicles with ICE, NOVC-HEV and OVC-HEV.\nFor the complete RDE trip and for the urban part of the RDE trip (k = t = total, k = u = urban):\nM RDE,k = m RDE,k · RF k\nThe values of the parameter RF L 1 and RF L 2 of the function used to calculate the result evaluation factor are as follows:\nUpon the request of the manufacturer and only for type approvals granted before 1 January 2020,\nRF L 1 = 1,20 and RF L 2 = 1,25;\nin all other cases:\nRF L 1 = 1,30 and RF L 2 = 1,50;\nThe RDE result evaluation factors RF k (k = t = total, k = u = urban) shall be obtained using the functions laid down in point 2.2. for vehicles with ICE and NOVC-HEV, and in point 2.3. for OVC-HEV. These evaluation factors shall be subject to review by the Secretary of State and shall be revised as a result of technical progress.

The ratio r k is corrected by a ratio reflecting the respective usage of the internal combustion engine during the RDE trip and on the WLTP test, to be conducted using the charge sustaining mode.
