1.The Commission shall provide free of charge the following electronic tools in the form of downloadable and executable software:
(a)a simulation tool;
(b)pre-processing tools;
(c)a hashing tool.
The Commission shall maintain the electronic tools and provide modifications and updates to those tools.
2.The Commission shall make the electronic tools referred to in paragraph 1 available through a publicly available dedicated electronic distribution platform.
[F13. The simulation tool shall be used for the purposes of determining CO 2 emissions and fuel consumption of new vehicles, or for the purposes of determining whether those vehicles are a ZE-HDVs, He-HDVs or dual-fuel vehicle. The simulation tool shall be designed to operate on the basis of input information as specified in Annex III, as well as input data referred to in Article 12(1).]
4.The pre-processing tools shall be used for the purpose of verification and compilation of the testing results and performing additional calculations relating to CO2 emission and fuel consumption related properties of certain components, separate technical units or systems and converting them in a format used by the simulation tool. The pre-processing tools shall be used by the manufacturer after performing the tests referred to in point 4 of Annex V for engines and in point 3 of Annex VIII for air-drag.
[F15. The hashing tools shall be used for establishing an unequivocal association between the certified CO 2 emission and fuel consumption related properties of a component, separate technical unit or system and its certification document, as well as for establishing an unequivocal association between a vehicle and its manufacturer's records file and customer information file as referred to in Annex IV.]
