Article 1Innovative technology#
The technology used in a 48 Volt efficient motor-generator combined with a 48 Volt/12 Volt DC/DC converter is approved as an innovative technology within the meaning of Article 11 of Regulation (EU) 2019/631 taking into account that the CO2 savings it delivers are only partially covered by the standard test procedure set out in Regulation (EU) 2017/1151, and provided that the technology conforms to the following:
(a)it is fitted in passenger cars (M1) or light commercial vehicles (N1) with the following characteristics:
(i)vehicles powered by internal combustion engines (conventional ICE vehicles) capable of running on petrol, diesel, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), compressed natural gas (CNG) or E85 or a combination of those fuels;
(ii)not-off-vehicle charging hybrid electric vehicles capable of running on the fuels referred to in point (i) for which uncorrected fuel consumption and CO2 emission values may be used in accordance with point 1.1.4 of Appendix 2 of Sub-Annex 8 to Annex XXI to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151.
(b)its efficiency, which is the product of the efficiency of the 48 Volt motor-generator and the efficiency of the 48 Volt/12 Volt DC/DC converter, determined in accordance with point 2.3 of the Annex, is at least
(i)73,8 % for petrol- or E85-fuelled vehicles other than turbo-charged;
(ii)73,4 % for turbo-charged petrol- or E85-fuelled vehicles;
(iii)74,2 % for diesel-fuelled vehicles;
(iv)74,6 % for LPG-fuelled vehicles other than turbo-charged;
(v)74,1 % for turbo-charged LPG-fuelled vehicles;
(vi)76,3 % for CNG-fuelled vehicles other than turbo-charged;
(vii)75,7 % for turbo-charged CNG-fuelled vehicles.
