In the case of multi-stage type-approval, the new CO2 value shall be calculated in accordance with the CO2 interpolation method, using the relevant data from the completed vehicle. Alternatively, the new CO2 value shall be calculated on the basis of the parameters of the completed vehicle as specified in paragraph 3.2.4 of Annex B7 to UN Regulation 154 and using the road load matrix tool supplied by the manufacturer of the base vehicle. If the tool is not available or CO2interpolation is impractical, the CO2 value of Vehicle High from the base vehicle shall be used, at the request of the manufacturer responsible for the conversion. |
