Exhaust emissions at normal and low ambient temperature, evaporative emissions, emissions of crankcase gases, the durability of pollution control exhaust devices and on-board diagnostic (OBD) systems of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) equipped with positive-ignition (P.I.) engines and having at least four wheels. 1.1.4. Exhaust emissions, the durability of anti-pollution devices and on-board diagnostic (OBD) systems of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) of categories M1 and N1 equipped with compression- ignition (C.I.) engines, having at least four wheels and a maximum mass not exceeding 3 500 kg. (1) Vehicle categories as defined in the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3), Annex 7 (docu- ment TRANS/WP.29/78/Rev.1/Amend2). L 70/172 EN Official Journal of the European Union 9.3.2007 1.1.5. It does not apply to: — vehicles with a maximum mass of less than 400 kg and to vehicles having a maximum design speed of less than 50 km/h; — vehicles whose unladen mass is not more than 400 kg if they are intended for carrying passengers or 550 kg if they are intended for carrying goods and whose maximum engine power does not exceed 15 kW. 1.1.6. At the request of the manufacturer, type approval pursuant to this Regulation may be extended from M1 or N1 vehicles equipped with compression-ignition engines which have already been typed approved to M2 and N2 vehicles having a reference mass not exceeding 2 840 kg and meeting the conditions of paragraph 7 (extension of approval). 1.1.7. Vehicles of category N1 equipped with compression-ignition engines or equipped with positive- ignition engines fuelled with NG or LPG are not subject to this Regulation provided they have been type-approved pursuant to Regulation No 49 as amended by the last series of amendments. 1.2. This Regulation does not apply to vehicles equipped with positive-ignition engines fuelled with NG or LPG used for driving motor vehicles of M1 category having a maximum mass exceeding 3 500 kg, M2,M3,N2,N3 to which Regulation No 49 is applicable. 2. DEFINITIONS For the purposes of this Regulation: 2.1. ‘Vehicle type’ means a category of power-driven vehicles that do not differ in such essential respects as: 2.1.1. the equivalent inertia determined in relation to the reference mass as prescribed in Annex 4, paragraph 5.1 and 2.1.2. the engine and vehicle characteristics as defined in Annex 1; 2.2. ‘Reference mass’ means the ‘unladen mass’ of the vehicle increased by a uniform figure of 100kg for test according to Annexes 4 and 8, 2.2.1. ‘Unladen mass’ means the mass of the vehicle in running order without driver, passengers or load, but with the fuel tank 90 per cent full and the usual set of tools and spare wheel on board, where applicable; 2.3. ‘Maximum mass’ means the technically permissible maximum mass declared by the vehicle manufacturer (this mass may be greater than the maximum mass authorised by the national administration); 2.4. ‘Gaseous pollutants’ means the exhaust gas emissions of carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, expressed in nitrogen dioxide (NO2) equivalent and hydrocarbons assuming ratio of: —C1H1,85 for petrol, —C1H1,86 for diesel, —C1H2,525 for LPG, —C1H4 for NG. 2.5. ‘Particulate pollutants’ means components of the exhaust gas which are removed from the diluted exhaust gas at a maximum temperature of 325 K (52 °C) by means of the filters described in Annex 4; 2.6. ‘Exhaust emissions’ means: — for positive-ignition (P.I.) engines, emissions of gaseous pollutants; — for compression-ignition (C.I.) engines, emissions of gaseous and particulate pollutants; 9.3.2007 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 70/173 2.7. ‘Evaporative emissions’ means the hydrocarbon vapours lost from the fuel system of a motor vehicle other than those from exhaust emissions; 2.7.1. ‘Tank breathing losses’ are hydrocarbon emissions caused by temperature changes in the fuel tank (assuming a ratio of C1H2,33). 2.7.2. ‘Hot soak losses’ are hydrocarbon emissions arising from the fuel system of a stationary vehicle after a period of driving (assuming a ratio of C1H2,20); 2.8. ‘Engine crankcase’ means the spaces in or external to an engine which are connected to the oil sump by internal or external ducts through which gases and vapour can escape; 2.9. ‘Cold start device’ means a device that temporarily enriches the air/fuel mixture of the engine thus assisting the engine to start; 2.10. ‘Starting aid’ means a device which assists engine start up without enrichment of the air/fuel mixture of the engine, e.g. glow plug, injection timing change, etc.; 2.11. ‘Engine capacity’ means: 2.11.1. For reciprocating piston engines, the nominal engine swept volume; 2.11.2.

Such an element of design may not be considered a defeat device if: 2.16.1. the need for the device is justified in terms of protecting the engine against damage or accident and for safe operation of the vehicle, or 2.16.2. the device does not function beyond the requirements of engine starting, or 2.16.3. conditions are substantially included in the Type I or Type VI test procedures. 2.17. ‘Family of vehicles’ means a group of vehicle types identified by a parent vehicle for the pur- pose of Annex 12; 2.18. ‘Fuel requirement by the engine’ means the type of fuel normally used by the engine: — petrol, — LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), — NG (natural gas), L 70/174 EN Official Journal of the European Union 9.3.2007 — either petrol or LPG, — either petrol or NG, — diesel fuel; 2.19. ‘Approval of a vehicle’ means the approval of a vehicle type with regard to the limitation of the following conditions (1): 2.19.1. Limitation of exhaust emissions by the vehicle, evaporative emissions, crankcase emissions, dura- bility of pollution control devices, cold start pollutant emissions and on-board diagnostics of vehicles fuelled with unleaded petrol, or which can be fuelled with either unleaded petrol and LPG or NG (Approval B); 2.19.2.
