Article 3Certification of CO2 savings#

1.The type-approval authority shall ensure that CO₂ savings achieved from the use of the innovative technology have been determined using the methodology set out in the Annex.

2.Where a manufacturer applies for the certification of the CO₂ savings for more than one type of 48 Volt motor-generator combined with a 48 Volt/12 Volt DC/DC converter in relation to one vehicle version, the type-approval authority shall determine which of the 48 Volt motor-generators combined with a 48 Volt/12 Volt DC/DC converter tested delivers the lowest CO₂ savings. That value shall be used for the purpose of paragraph 4.

3.The type approval authority shall record the certified CO₂ savings calculated in accordance with point 4 of the Annex, and the eco-innovation code referred to in Article 4(1) in the relevant type-approval documentation.

3a.Where the innovative technology is fitted in a bi-fuel or flex-fuel vehicle, the type-approval authority shall record the certified CO₂ savings as follows:

(a)for a bi-fuel vehicle using petrol and gaseous fuels, the CO₂ savings value with regard to LPG or CNG;

(b)for a flex-fuel vehicle using petrol and E85, the CO₂ savings value with regard to petrol.

4.The type-approval authority shall record all the elements considered for the certification in a test report and keep that together with the verification report referred to in Article 2(2), and shall make that information available to the Commission on request.

5.The type-approval authority shall only certify CO₂ savings from the use of the innovative technology if it finds that the technology conforms with points (a) and (b) of Article 1, and if the CO₂ savings determined in accordance with point 3.5 of the Annex are 0,5 g CO₂/km or higher, as specified in Article 9(1)(b) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011 in the case of passenger cars, or in Article 9(1)(b) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 427/2014 in the case of light commercial vehicles.
