Article 3
                             Definitions

     For the purposes of this Regulation and its implementing measures
the following definitions shall apply:
     1.  "hybrid  vehicle" means a vehicle with at least two different
energy  converters  and  two  different  energy  storage  systems  (on
vehicle) for the purpose of vehicle propulsion;
     2. "vehicles  designed  to  fulfil  specific  social needs" means
diesel vehicles of category M , which are either:
                             1
     (a)  special  purpose vehicles as defined in Directive 70/156/EEC
with a reference mass exceeding 2000 kg;
     (b) vehicles with a reference mass exceeding 2000 kg and designed
to  carry  seven  or  more  occupants  including  the  driver with the
exclusion,  as from 1 September 2012,  of vehicles of category M  G as
                                                                1
defined in Directive 70/156/EEC;
     or
     (c)  vehicles  with  a reference mass exceeding 1760 kg which are
built  specifically  for commercial purposes to accommodate wheelchair
use inside the vehicle;
     3.  "reference  mass"  means  the  mass of the vehicle in running
order  less the uniform mass of the driver of 75 kg and increased by a
uniform mass of 100 kg;
     4. "gaseous pollutants" means the exhaust gas emissions of carbon
monoxide,  oxides  of  nitrogen,  expressed  in nitrogen dioxide (NO )
                                                                    2
equivalent, and hydrocarbons;
     5. "particulate pollutants" means components of the  exhaust  gas
which   are  removed  from  the  diluted  exhaust  gas  at  a  maximum
temperature of 325 gr.K (52 gr.C) by means of the filters described in
the test procedure for verifying average tailpipe emissions;
     6.  "tailpipe  emissions"  means  the  emission  of  gaseous  and
particulate pollutants;
     7.  "evaporative emissions" means the hydrocarbon vapours emitted
from  the  fuel  system  of  a  vehicle other than those from tailpipe
emissions;
     8.  "crankcase"  means  the  spaces in, or external to, an engine
which  are  connected  to  the  oil sump by internal or external ducts
through which gases and vapours can be emitted;
     9.  "on-board  diagnostic  system" or "OBD system" means a system
for  emission  control  which  has  the  capability of identifying the
likely  area  of  malfunction  by  means  of  fault  codes stored in a
computer memory;
     10.  "defeat  device"  means  any  element of design which senses
temperature,  vehicle  speed,  engine  speed (RPM), transmission gear,
manifold  vacuum or any other parameter for the purpose of activating,
modulating,  delaying or deactivating the operation of any part of the
emission  control  system,  that  reduces  the  effectiveness  of  the
emission  control  system  under  conditions  which  may reasonably be
expected to be encountered in normal vehicle operation and use;
     11.  "pollution  control  device"  means  those  components  of a
vehicle that control and/or limit tailpipe and evaporative emissions;
     12. "original pollution control device" means a pollution control
device  or  an  assembly  of such devices covered by the type approval
granted for the vehicle concerned;
     13.  "replacement  pollution  control  device"  means a pollution
control  device  or an assembly of such devices intended to replace an
original  pollution  control  device  and  which  can be approved as a
separate technical unit as defined in Directive 70/156/EEC;
     14.  "vehicle  repair  and  maintenance  information"  means  all
information  required  for  diagnosis, servicing, inspection, periodic
monitoring,  repair,  re-programming or re-initialising of the vehicle
and  which  the manufacturers provide for their authorised dealers and
repairers, including all subsequent amendments and supplements to such
information.  This  information  includes all information required for
fitting parts or equipment on vehicles;
     15.   "independent   operator"   means  undertakings  other  than
authorised  dealers  and  repairers  which  are directly or indirectly
involved   in  the  repair  and  maintenance  of  motor  vehicles,  in
particular   repairers,   manufacturers   or  distributors  of  repair
equipment,  tools or spare parts, publishers of technical information,
automobile  clubs,  roadside  assistance operators, operators offering
inspection  and  testing  services,  operators  offering  training for
installers,  manufacturers  and repairers of equipment for alternative
fuel vehicles;
     16.  "biofuels"  means  liquid  or  gaseous  fuels for transport,
produced from biomass;
     17.  "alternative  fuel  vehicle"  means a vehicle designed to be
capable of running on at least one type of fuel that is either gaseous
at  atmospheric temperature and pressure, or substantially non-mineral
oil derived.
