Division 8.4 Additional requirements

For different vehicle configurations in terms of test mass and driving resistance coefficients, downscaling shall be applied individually.

If, after the application of downscaling the vehicle maximum speed is lower than the maximum speed of the cycle, the process described in paragraph 9. of this Sub-Annex shall be applied with the applicable cycle.

If the vehicle cannot follow the speed trace of the applicable cycle within the tolerance at speeds lower than its maximum speed, it shall be driven with the accelerator control fully activated during these periods. During such periods of operation, speed trace violations shall be permitted.
