See sections 5.2.5, 7.6 and 7.7 of Annex VI for determination of required test speeds.
% torque is relative to the maximum torque at the commanded engine speed.
Advance from one mode to the next within a 20-second transition phase. During the transition phase, command a linear progression from the torque setting of the current mode to the torque setting of the next mode, and simultaneously command a similar linear progression for engine speed if there is a change in speed setting.
