‘4.   The CO2 emissions and fuel consumption related properties of auxiliaries shall be based on the generic values as implemented in the simulation tool and as allocated to a vehicle based on the input information to be determined in accordance with Annex IX.

5.   In the case of a base lorry, the CO2 emissions and fuel consumption related properties of components, separate technical units and systems referred to in paragraph 1, point (g), of this Article, which cannot be determined for the base lorries shall be based on the standard values. For components, separate technical units and systems referred to in paragraph 1, point (h), the technology with highest power losses shall be selected by the vehicle manufacturer.

6.   In the case of vehicles exempted from the obligation to determine the CO2 emissions and fuel consumption under Article 9(1), the simulation tool input data shall include the information set out in Table 5 of Annex III.

7.   Where the vehicle is to be registered, sold or put into service with a complete set of snow tyres and a complete set of standard tyres, the vehicle manufacturer may choose which of the tyres to use for determining the CO2 emissions. In the case of heavy buses, as long as the tyres used in the primary vehicle simulation are with the vehicle when it is registered, sold or put into service, addition of tyre sets to the vehicle shall not result in the obligation to conduct a new primary vehicle simulation in accordance with point 2 of Annex I.’;

‘7.   For auxiliaries generic values are allocated by the simulation tool in accordance with the technologies selected in accordance with Annex IX.

8.   The standard value for tyres shall be determined in accordance with Annex X, point 3.2.’;
