# Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 of 1 June 2017 supplementing Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council on type-approval of motor vehicles with respect to emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 5 and Euro 6) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information, amending Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, Commission Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 and Commission Regulation (EU) No 1230/2012 and repealing Commission Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 (Text with EEA relevance), Division 9.1: General remarks


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 vmax,cycle.
The maximum speed of the vehicle shall be referred to as its capped speed vcap.
If vcap 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 vcap is lower than 120 km/h.
In the cases where vcap 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.
