COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2009/108/EC
of 17 August 2009
amending, for the purposes of adapting it to technical progress, Directive 97/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on certain components and characteristics of two or three-wheel motor vehicles
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2002/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 March 2002 relating to the type-approval of two and three-wheel motor vehicles and repealing Council Directive 92/61/EEC (1), and in particular Article 17 thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Directive 97/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 1997 on certain components and characteristics of two or three-wheel motor vehicles (2) is one of the separate Directives for the purposes of the two and three-wheel motor vehicles EC type-approval procedure laid down by Directive 2002/24/EC. |
|
(2) |
In order to take into account the specific behaviour of hybrid vehicles, the type-approval test procedure used for measuring gaseous pollutants from two and three-wheel vehicles should be adapted. For this purpose, it is appropriate to adopt a procedure similar to the one used in UNECE Regulation No 83 on Emission of pollutants according to engine fuel requirements. |
|
(3) |
To ensure that hybrid vehicles comply with the noise limits set out in Directive 97/24/EC in all their running modes it is also necessary to adapt the type-approval test procedure used for noise measurement set out in Directive 97/24/EC. |
|
(4) |
Directive 97/24/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(5) |
The measures provided for this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Adaptation to Technical Progress, |

The purpose of this sub-appendix is to describe the method and required instrumentation for measuring the electricity balance of Off Vehicle Charging Hybrid Electric Vehicles (OVC HEV) and Not Off Vehicle Charging Hybrid Electric Vehicles (NOVC HEV). 2. Measurement equipment and instrumentation 2.1. During the tests as described in points 3.1 to 3.4 the battery current shall be measured using a current transducer of the clamp-on type or the closed type. The current transducer (i.e. the current sensor without data acquisition equipment) shall have a minimum accuracy of 0,5 % of the measured value or 0,1 % of the maximum value of the scale. OEM diagnostic testers are not to be used for the purpose of this test. 2.1.1. The current transducer shall be fitted on one of the wires directly connected to the battery. In order to easily measure battery current using external measuring equipment, manufacturers shall, if possible, integrate appropriate, safe and accessible connection points in the vehicle. If that is not feasible, the manufacturer is obliged to support the Technical Service by providing the means to connect a current transducer to the wires connected to the battery in the above described manner. 2.1.2. The output of the current transducer shall be sampled with a minimum sample frequency of 5 Hz. The measured current shall be integrated over time, yielding the measured value of Q, expressed in Ampere hours (Ah). 2.1.3. The temperature at the location of the sensor shall be measured and sampled with the same sample frequency as the current, so that this value can be used for possible compensation of the drift of current transducers and, if applicable, the voltage transducer used to convert the output of the current transducer. 2.2. A list of the instrumentation (manufacturer, model no., serial no.) used by the manufacturer for determining when the minimum state of charge of the battery as been reached during the test procedure defined in points 3.1 and 3.2 and the last calibration dates of the instruments (where applicable) shall be provided to the Technical Service. 3. Measurement procedure 3.1. Measurement of the battery current shall start at the same time as the test starts and shall end immediately after the vehicle has driven the complete driving cycle. Sub-appendix 2 Method of measuring the electric range of vehicles powered by a hybrid electric power train and the OVC range of vehicles powered by a hybrid electric powertrain 1. MEASUREMENT OF THE ELECTRIC RANGE The test method described in this sub-appendix permits to measure the electric range, expressed in km, of vehicles powered by a hybrid electric power train with off-vehicle charging (OVC-HEV). 2.

Initial charge of the battery Charging the battery consists of the following procedures: Note: “Initial charge of the battery” applies to the first charge of the battery, at the reception of the vehicle. In case of several combined tests or measurements, carried out consecutively, the first charge carried out shall be an “initial charge of the battery” and the following may be done in accordance with the “normal overnight charge” (described in point 4.1.2.1) procedure. 4.1.1. Discharge of the battery
4.1.2. Application of a normal overnight charge For an OVC HEV, the electrical energy storage device shall be charged according to the following procedure. 4.1.2.1. Normal overnight charge procedure The charging is carried out:

The manufacturer shall declare that during the test, a special charge procedure has not occurred. 4.1.2.2. End of charge criteria The end of charge criteria corresponds to a charging time of 12 hours, except if a clear indication is given to the driver by the standard instrumentation that the electrical energy storage device is not yet fully charged. In this case, the maximum time is = 3 · claimed battery capacity (Wh)/mains power supply (W) 4.2. Application of the cycle and measurement of the range 4.2.1.
