Article 4Methodology to demonstrate the CO2 savings of the innovative technology#

1.The methodology referred to in Article 3(2), point (c), and, where applicable, the associated simplified methodology referred to in Article 3(3), shall provide results in terms of CO₂ savings that are verifiable, repeatable and reproducible.

2.The methodology referred to in Article 3(2), point (c), of this Regulation shall:

(a)define specific test conditions;

(b)identify a baseline vehicle that is supported by statistical evidence on the basis of which verifiable assumptions about its appropriateness and representativeness can be made;

(c)set out how to determine the CO₂ emissions savings from the innovative technology, taking into account the specific test conditions referred to in point (a), the real-world usage of the innovative technology, supported by statistical evidence, and the extent to which the innovative technology is already covered by the Type 1 test which is set out in Annex XXI to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151;

(d)take account of any deterioration effect of the technology over time and to what extent it modifies the CO₂ emissions savings;

(e)where relevant, take account of the interaction with other eco-innovations and to what extent it modifies the CO₂ emissions savings.

3.The simplified methodology referred to in Article 3(3) shall provide results in terms of CO₂ savings that are lower or equal to those determined using the associated methodology referred to in Article 3(2), point (c), including any possible interactions with other approved eco-innovations.

4.In the case of pre-defined CO₂ savings values proposed in accordance with Article 3(3), those values shall be lower or equal to the CO₂ savings determined in accordance with the methodology referred to in Article 3(2), point (c).
