(3) The request and the application have been assessed in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation (EU) 2019/631,
Implementing Regulations (EU) No 725/2011 and (EU) No 427/2014 and the Technical Guidelines for the
preparation of applications for the approval of innovative technologies pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009
of the European Parliament and of the Council(7) and (EU) No 510/2011 of the European Parliament and of the
Council(8) (July 2018 version)(9). In accordance with Article 11(3) of Regulation (EU) 2019/631, the request and
the application were accompanied by verification reports undertaken by independent and certified bodies.
(4) Considering that the request and the application refer to the same innovative technology and that the same
conditions should apply for its use in the vehicle categories concerned, it is appropriate to address both the request
and the application in one single decision.
(5) The 48 Volt motor-generator may operate as either an electric motor converting electrical energy into mechanical
energy, or as a generator converting mechanical energy into electrical energy, i.e. as a standard alternator. The
48 Volt/12 Volt DC/DC converter enables the 48 Volt motor-generator to provide electric energy at the voltage
required to power the 12 Volt electric power board of the vehicle and/or charging the 12 Volt battery.
(6) The technology used in the 48 Volt efficient motor-generator combined with a 48 Volt/12 Volt DC/DC converter
supplied by SEG Automotive Germany GmbH has already been approved for use in conventional ICE powered and
certain NOVC-HEV passenger cars by Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/314 as well as for use in conventional ICE
powered and certain NOVC-HEV light commercial vehicles by Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/313, as an
innovative technology capable of saving CO emissions in a way that is only partially covered by the measurements
2
performed as part of the emission test under the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) set out in Commission
Regulation (EC) No 692/2008(10). The technology has also been approved as a generic innovative technology by
reference to NEDC conditions by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/1102(11).
(7) The request and the application refer, however, to the WLTP set out in Regulation (EU) 2017/1151. It has been
demonstrated that the measurements performed as part of the emissions test under the WLTP only partially cover
the CO savings resulting from the technology used in 48 Volt efficient motor-generators combined with a
2
48 Volt/12 Volt DC/DC converter.
(8) Based on the experience gained from the assessment of the applications approved by Implementing Decisions (EU)
2019/313, (EU) 2019/314 and (EU) 2020/1102, and taking into account the information provided with the present
request and application, it has been satisfactorily and conclusively demonstrated that the technology used in a
48 Volt efficient motor-generator combined with a 48 Volt/12 Volt DC/DC converter meets the criteria referred to
in Article 11(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/631 and the eligibility criteria specified in Article 9(1)(b) of Implementing
Regulations (EU) No 725/2011 and (EU) No 427/2014.
(9) The innovative technology should be used in conventional ICE passenger cars or light commercial vehicles, or in
NOVC-HEVs of those categories for which uncorrected measured fuel consumption and CO emission values may
2
be used in accordance with paragraph 1.1.4 of Appendix 2 to Sub-annex 8 to Annex XXI to Regulation (EU)
2017/1151.
(7) Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 setting emission performance
standards for new passenger cars as part of the Community’s integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles
(OJ L 140, 5.6.2009, p. 1).
(8) Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2011 setting emission performance standards
for new light commercial vehicles as part of the Union's integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles
(OJ L 145, 31.5.2011, p. 1).

(10) Commission Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 of 18 July 2008 implementing and amending Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the
European Parliament and of the Council on type-approval of motor vehicles with respect to emissions from light passenger and
commercial vehicles (Euro 5 and Euro 6) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information (OJ L 199, 28.7.2008, p. 1).
(11) Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/1102 of 24 July 2020 on the approval of the technology used in a 48 Volt efficient
motor-generator combined with a 48 Volt/12 Volt DC/DC converter for use in conventional combustion engine and certain hybrid
electric passenger cars and light commercial vehicles as an innovative technology pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the
European Parliament and of the Council and by reference to the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) (OJ L 241, 27.7.2020, p. 38).7.8.2020 E N O f f i c i a l J o u r n a l o f t h e E u r o p e a n Union L 258/17
(10) Both the request and the application refer to the methodology for determining the CO savings from the use of the
2
48 Volt efficient motor-generator combined with a 48 Volt/12 Volt DC/DC converter in passenger cars and light
commercial vehicles set out in point 3 of the Annex to Implementing Decisions (EU) 2019/313 and (EU)
2019/314, i.e. the ‘separate method’.
(11) The methodology proposed in the application differs, however, from the ‘separate method’ with regard to the voltage
level to be used for the efficiency measurement of the 48 Volt motor-generator, which is proposed to be set to
48 Volt, instead of 52 Volt. In addition the output current for the efficiency measurement of the 48 Volt/12 Volt
DC/DC converter is proposed to be set as half the nominal power of the DC/DC converter divided by 14,3 Volt,
instead of the nominal power of the DC/DC converter divided by 14,3 Volt. Moreover, in the application it is
proposed to introduce a run-in procedure for the 48 Volt motor-generator.
(12) With regard to the changes proposed to the ‘separate method’ set out in Implementing Decisions (EU) 2019/313 and
(EU) 2019/314 regarding the voltage level of the efficiency measurement of the 48 Volt motor-generator and the
output current of the efficiency measurement of the 48 Volt/12 Volt DC/DC converter, it is found that those
changes may lead to less conservative results in terms of CO savings. The applicants have claimed that the changes
2
are justified as they would be more representative of real world driving conditions. The evidence provided in support
of that claim can, however, not be considered sufficient, in particular due to the limited studies performed in support
of the application and the absence of evidence supporting the change of the output current for the efficiency
measurement of the 48 Volt/12 Volt DC/DC converter. Against that background, it is considered that these aspects
of the ‘separate method’ set out in point 3 of the Annex to the respective Implementing Decisions (EU) 2019/313
and (EU) 2019/314 should not be changed based on the information provided in the applications.
(13) With regard to the proposed addition to the testing methodology of a run-in procedure for the 48 Volt motor-
generator, the application does not set out with sufficient precision the details for how such run-in should be
performed nor how the run-in effect should be taken into account. As the efficiency of the 48 Volt efficient motor-
generator combined with a 48 Volt/12 Volt converter is determined on the basis of the average of the measurement
results, any run-in effects, positive or negative, may be adequately taken into account in the final efficiency
determination, where necessary by increasing the number of measurements. Against that background, it is not
appropriate to complement the testing methodology with an additional specific run-in procedure such as that
proposed in the application.
(14) It is proposed in the request to modify the average speed from the one of the NEDC (33,58 km/h) to the one of the
WLTP (46,6 km/h). As the conditions of the WLTP should be taken into account, the average speed should be set
accordingly.
(15) It follows implicitly from the ‘separate method’ that the input voltage for testing the efficiency of the 48 Volt/12 Volt
DC/DC converter should be the same as the output voltage of the 48 Volt motor-generator, i.e. 52 Volt. In order to
ensure that the efficiency tests are performed in a harmonised way, it is appropriate to clarify in the testing
methodology that the value of the input voltage should be set to 52 Volt.
(16) Manufacturers should have the possibility to apply to a type-approval authority for the certification of CO savings
2
from the use of the innovative technology where the conditions laid down in this Decision are met. Manufacturers
should for that purpose ensure that the application for certification is accompanied by a verification report from an
independent and certified body confirming that the innovative technology complies with the conditions laid down
in this Decision and that the savings have been determined in accordance with the testing methodology referred to
in this Decision.
(17) In order to facilitate a wider deployment of the innovative technology in new vehicles, a manufacturer should also
have the possibility to submit a single application for the certification of the CO savings from several 48 Volt
2
efficient motor generators combined with a 48 Volt/12 Volt DC/DC converter. It is, however, appropriate to ensure
that, where that possibility is used, a mechanism is applied that incentivises the deployment of only those
innovative technologies that offer the highest CO savings.
2
(18) It is the responsibility of the type-approval authority to verify thoroughly that the conditions for certifying the CO
2
savings from the use of an innovative technology as specified in this Decision are met. Where the certification is
issued, the responsible type-approval authority should ensure that all elements considered for the certification are
recorded in a test report and kept together with the verification report and that this information is made available
to the Commission on request.L 258/18 E N O f f i c i a l J o u r n a l o f t h e E u r o p e a n Union 7.8.2020
(19) For the purpose of determining the general eco-innovation code to be used in the relevant type-approval documents
in accordance with Annexes I, VIII and IX to Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the
Council(12), it is necessary to attribute an individual code to the innovative technology.
(20) From 2021, manufacturers’ compliance with their specific CO emissions targets is to be established on the basis of
2
CO emissions determined in accordance with the WLTP. CO savings from the innovative technology certified by
2 2
reference to this Decision may therefore be taken into account for the calculation of manufacturers average specific
CO emissions from the calendar year 2021 onwards,
