ANNEX VIISupplementary provisions

ANNEX VII Annex VIII to Regulation (EU) 2017/2400 is amended as follows: (1) in point 3, second paragraph below the title is replaced by the following: ‘Vehicles which are not member of a family shall use the standard values for C d ·A declared as described in Appendix 7 to this Annex. In this case no input data on air drag shall be provided. The allocation of standard values is done automatically by the simulation tool.’; (2) points 3.3.1 and 3.3.2 are replaced by the following: ‘3.3.1. The vehicle chassis shall fit to the dimensions of the standard body or semi-trailer as defined in Appendix 4 of this Annex. 3.3.2. The vehicle height determined in accordance with 3.5.3.1 item vii. shall be within the limits as specified in Appendix 3 to this Annex.’; (3) in point 3.3.7, point iii is replaced by the following: ‘iii. Tyres inflated to the highest allowable pressure of the tyre manufacturer within a tolerance of ± 0,2 bar’; (4) in point 3.5.3.1, point (vii) is replaced by the following: ‘(vii) Check of vehicle setup regarding the height and geometry, with running engine. The maximum height of the vehicle shall be determined by measuring at the four corners of the box/semi-trailer.’; (5) in point 3.5.3.2, after the paragraph below the title, the following text is added: ‘In case it is not possible to maintain high speed for a complete round, e.g. due to curves being too narrow, it is allowed to deviate from target speed requirement during the curves, including the nearby straight portions that are needed for slowing down and accelerating the vehicle. Deviations shall be minimized as far as possible. Alternatively, the warm-up phase may be performed on a nearby road, if the target speed is maintained within ± 10 km/h for 90 % of the warm-up time. The part of the warm-up phase used for driving from the road to the standstill area of the test track for zeroing of the torque meters shall be included in the other warm-up phase set out in point 3.5.3.4. The time for this part shall not exceed 20 minutes. The speed and time during the warm-up phase shall be recorded by the measurement equipment.’; (6) point 3.5.3.4 is replaced by the following: ‘3.5.3.4. Drive another warm-up phase of minimum 10 minutes plus, if applicable, the driving from the road to the standstill area of the test track for zeroing of the torque meters at the target speed of the high speed test.
