Those end-points, which are represented by a test vehicle with the highest CO2 emission values, and test vehicle with the lowest values, should be defined so that the difference between the two test vehicles high and low is equal to or higher than 5 g CO2/km.\n(3)\nIn order to avoid that the CO2 emission values of individual vehicles are determined on the basis of interpolation lines that do not provide the minimum difference, it is appropriate that this amendment enters into force without delay.\n(4)\nWhere for the purpose of type approval under Regulation (EU) 2017/1151, road load matrix families are used, the calculation of the NEDC CO2 emission value of an individual vehicle belonging to such a family should be simplified by deriving the road load coefficients to be used for the calculation of the NEDC CO2 value from the road load coefficients of the individual vehicle as determined under Regulation (EU) 2017/1151.\n(5)\nAs regards incomplete N1 vehicles, the amendment to Annex XII to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 should be taken into account for the purpose of the determination of the road load coefficients to be used as input to the correlation tool.\n(6)\nIn order to ensure a robust correlation output, it is appropriate to add the number of cylinders as an input to be provided for the correlation tool.\n(7)\nThe opportunity should also be taken to correct some editorial errors in the text.\n(8)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Climate Change Committee,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
