    fractional number with exactly X digits after the decimal sign (‘.’) and no leading zeros e.g. for ‘double, 2’: ‘2345.67’; for ‘double, 4’: ‘45.6780’

  3. (3)

    ‘Unit’ … physical unit of the parameter

  4. (4)

    ‘corrected actual mass of the vehicle’ shall mean the mass as specified under the ‘actual mass of the vehicle’ in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 1230/20129 with an exception for the tank(s) which shall be filled to at least 50 % of its or their capacity/ies, without superstructure and corrected by the additional weight of the non-installed standard equipment as specified in point 4.3 and the mass of a standard body, standard semi-trailer or standard trailer to simulate the complete vehicle or complete vehicle-(semi-)trailer combination.

    All parts that are mounted on and above the main frame are regarded as superstructure parts if they are only installed for facilitating a superstructure, independent of the necessary parts for in running order conditions.

4.Vehicle mass

4.1

The vehicle mass used as input for the simulation tool shall be the corrected actual mass of the vehicle.

This corrected actual mass shall be based on vehicles equipped in such a way that they are compliant to all regulatory acts of Annex IV and Annex XI to Directive 2007/46/EC applicable to the particular vehicle class.

4.2

If not all the standard equipment is installed, the manufacturer shall add the weight of the following construction elements to the corrected actual mass of the vehicle:

  1. (a)

    Front under-run protection in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council10

  2. (b)

    Rear under-run protection in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council

  3. (c)

    Lateral protection in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council

  4. (d)

    Fifth wheel in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council

4.3

The weight of the construction elements referred to in point 4.2 shall be the following:

  • For vehicles of groups 1, 2 and 3

    (a) Front under-ride protection

    45 kg

    (b) Rear under-ride protection

    40 kg

    (c) Lateral protection

    (d) Fifth wheel

    210 kg

  • For vehicles of groups 4, 5, 9 to 12 and 16

    (a) Front under-ride protection

    50 kg

    (b) Rear under-ride protection

    45 kg

    (c) Lateral protection

    14 kg/m × wheel base [m] – 17 kg

    (d) Fifth wheel

    210 kg

5.Hydraulically and mechanically driven axles

In case of vehicles equipped with:

  1. (a)

    a hydraulically driven axles, the axle shall be treated as a non-drivable one and the manufacturer shall not take it into consideration for establishing an axle configuration of a vehicle;

  2. (b)

    a mechanically driven axles, the axle shall be treated as a drivable one and the manufacturer shall take it into consideration for establishing an axle configuration of a vehicle;

6.Gear dependent engine torque limits set by vehicle control

For the highest 50 % of the gears (e.g. for gears 7 to 12 of a 12 gear transmission) the vehicle manufacturer may declare a gear dependent maximum engine torque limit which is not higher than 95 % of the maximum engine torque.

7.Vehicle specific engine idling speed

7.1.

The engine idling speed has to be declared in VECTO for each individual vehicle. This declared vehicle engine idling shall be equal or higher than specified in the engine input data approval.
