Division 3.4.1 General requirementsF1
The test procedure to determine the pure electric range and electric energy consumption shall be selected in accordance with the estimated pure electric range (PER) of the test vehicle from Table A8/3. In the case that the interpolation method is applied, the applicable test procedure shall be selected in accordance with the PER of vehicle H within the specific interpolation family.
Table A8/3
Procedures to determine pure electric range and electric energy consumption
| Applicable test cycle | The estimated PER is… | Applicable test procedure |
|---|---|---|
| Test cycle pursuant to paragraph 1.4.2.1. of this Sub-Annex. | …less than the length of 3 applicable WLTP test cycles. | Consecutive cycle Type 1 test procedure (in accordance with paragraph 3.4.4.1. of this Sub-Annex). |
| … equal to or greater than the length of 3 applicable WLTP test cycles. | Shortened Type 1 test procedure (in accordance with paragraph 3.4.4.2. of this Sub-Annex). | |
| City cycle pursuant to paragraph 1.4.2.2. of this Sub-Annex. | …not available over the applicable WLTP test cycle. | Consecutive cycle Type 1 test procedure (in accordance with paragraph 3.4.4.1. of this Sub-Annex). |
The manufacturer shall give evidence to the approval authority concerning the estimated pure electric range (PER) prior to the test. In the case that the interpolation method is applied, the applicable test procedure shall be determined based on the estimated PER of vehicle H of the interpolation family. The PER determined by the applied test procedure shall confirm that the correct test procedure was applied.
The test sequence for the consecutive cycle Type 1 test procedure, as described in paragraphs 3.4.2., 3.4.3. and 3.4.4.1. of this Sub-Annex, as well as the corresponding REESS state of charge profile, are shown in Figure A8.App1/6 of Appendix 1 to this Sub-Annex.
The test sequence for the shortened Type 1 test procedure, as described in paragraphs 3.4.2., 3.4.3. and 3.4.4.2. of this Sub-Annex as well as the corresponding REESS state of charge profile, are shown in Figure A8.App1/7 in Appendix 1 to this Sub-Annex.
