Division 9.1 General remarksF1

This paragraph applies to vehicles that are technically able to follow the speed trace of the applicable cycle specified in paragraph 1. of this Sub-Annex (base cycle) at speeds lower than its maximum speed, but whose maximum speed is limited to a value lower than the maximum speed of the base cycle for other reasons. That applicable cycle shall be referred to as the ‘base cycle’ and used to determine the capped speed cycle.

In the cases where downscaling in accordance with paragraph 8.2. is applied, the downscaled cycle shall be used as the base cycle.

The maximum speed of the base cycle shall be referred to as v_max,cycle.

The maximum speed of the vehicle shall be referred to as its capped speed v_cap.

If v_cap is applied to a Class 3b vehicle as defined in paragraph 3.3.2., the Class 3b cycle shall be used as the base cycle. This shall apply even if v_cap is lower than 120 km/h.

In the cases where v_cap is applied, the base cycle shall be modified as described in paragraph 9.2. in order to achieve the same cycle distance for the capped speed cycle as for the base cycle.
