- 4.2. Only vehicles which fulfil the provisions for constant speed testing as laid down in section 3.3 of the main part of this Annex shall be selected.

- 4.3. Tires are considered part of the measurement equipment and can be selected by the manufacturer.

  • 4.4. Vehicles in families where the air drag value has been determined via transfer from other vehicles according to Appendix 5 point 5 are not subject to conformity of the certified CO2 emissions and fuel consumption related properties testing.

- 4.7. For the tests referred to in point 3.1, only vehicles for which air drag characteristics have been determined with an approved CFD method shall be selected.
  • 5.After a vehicle was selected for conformity of the certified CO2 emissions and fuel consumption related properties the manufacturer has to verify the conformity of the certified CO2 emissions and fuel consumption related properties within a time period of 12 month. The manufacturer may request the approval authority for an extension of that period for up to 6 months if he can prove that the verification was not possible within the required period due to weather conditions.

Design variants regarding power losses (in comparison to a transmission without PTO and / or PTO drive mechanism) Design variants regarding power losses (in comparison to a transmission without PTO and / or PTO drive mechanism) Power loss
Additional drag loss relevant parts Additional drag loss relevant parts Power loss
Shafts / gear wheels (P247) Other elements (P248) [W]
only one engaged gearwheel positioned above the specified oil level (no additional gearmesh) — 0
only the drive shaft of the PTO tooth clutch (incl. synchroniser) or sliding gearwheel 50
only the drive shaft of the PTO multi-disc clutch 350
only the drive shaft of the PTO multi-disc clutch with dedicated pump for PTO clutch 3 000
drive shaft and/or up to 2 engaged gearwheels tooth clutch (incl. synchroniser) or sliding gearwheel 150
drive shaft and/or up to 2 engaged gearwheels multi-disc clutch 400
drive shaft and/or up to 2 engaged gearwheels multi-disc clutch with dedicated pump for PTO clutch 3 050
drive shaft and/or more than 2 engaged gearwheels tooth clutch (incl. synchroniser) or sliding gearwheel 200
drive shaft and/or more than 2 engaged gearwheels multi-disc clutch 450
drive shaft and/or more than 2 engaged gearwheels multi-disc clutch with dedicated pump for PTO clutch 3 100
PTO which includes 1 or more additional gearmesh(es), without disconnect clutch — 1 500

In the case of multiple PTOs mounted to the transmission, only the component with the highest losses in accordance with Table 15, for its combination of criteria ‘PTOShaftsGearWheels’ and ‘PTOShaftsOtherElements’, shall be declared. For medium lorries and heavy buses, no declaration of transmission PTOs is foreseen.
