Article 1 
The technology used in 48 Volt efficient motor-generators combined with 48 Volt/12 Volt DC/DC converters is approved as an innovative technology within the meaning of Article 11 of Regulation (EU) 2019/631, taking into account that the CO2 savings it delivers are only partially covered by the standard test procedure set out in Regulation (EC) No 692/2008, provided that the technology conforms to the following:

((a)) it is fitted in passenger cars (M1) or light commercial vehicles (N1) powered by internal combustion engines running on petrol or diesel (conventional ICE powered M1 and N1 vehicles) or in not-off-vehicle charging hybrid electric vehicles of category M1 or N1 for which uncorrected measured fuel consumption and CO2 emission values may be used in accordance with Annex 8 to Regulation No 101 of the Economic Commission for Europe of the United Nations;
((b)) its efficiency, which is the product of the efficiency of the 48 Volt motor-generator and the efficiency of the 48 Volt/12 Volt DC/DC converter, determined in accordance with point 3.3 of the Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/313 or point 3.3 of the Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/314, is at least:

((i)) 73,8 % for petrol-fuelled vehicles other than turbo-charged;
((ii)) 73,4 % for turbo-charged petrol-fuelled vehicles;
((iii)) 74,2 % for diesel-fuelled vehicles.
Article 2 

1. A manufacturer may apply to  the Secretary of State  for certification of the CO2 savings from the use of the technology approved in accordance with Article 1 (‘the innovative technology’) by reference to this Decision.
2. The manufacturer shall ensure that the application for the certification is accompanied by a verification report from an independent and certified body confirming that the technology conforms to points (a) and (b) of Article 1.
3. Where savings have been certified in accordance with Article 3, the manufacturer shall ensure that the certified CO2 savings and the eco-innovation code referred to in Article 4(1) are recorded in the certificate of conformity of the vehicles concerned.
Article 3 

1. The  Secretary of State  shall ensure that CO2 savings from the use of the innovative technology have been determined using the methodology set out in points 3, 5, and 6 of the Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/313 in the case of light commercial vehicles or points 3, 5 and 6 of the Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/314 in the case of passenger cars.
2. Where a manufacturer applies for the certification of the CO2 savings for more than one type of 48 Volt motor-generator combined with a 48 Volt/12 Volt DC/DC converter in relation to one vehicle version, the  Secretary of State  shall determine which of the 48 Volt motor-generators combined with a 48 Volt/12 Volt DC/DC converter tested delivers the lowest CO2 savings. That value shall be used for the purpose of paragraph 4.
3. The  Secretary of State  shall record the certified CO2 savings determined in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2, and the eco-innovation code referred to in Article 4(1) in the relevant type-approval documentation.
4. The  Secretary of State  shall record all the elements considered for the certification in a test report and keep that together with the verification report referred to in Article 2(2) ....
5. The  Secretary of State  shall only certify CO2 savings from the use of the innovative technology if  the Secretary of State  finds that the technology conforms with points (a) and (b) of Article 1, and if the CO2 savings achieved are 1 g CO2/km or higher, as specified in Article 9(1)(a) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011 in the case of passenger cars, or in Article 9(1)(a) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 427/2014 in the case of light commercial vehicles.
Article 4 

1. The innovative technology approved by this Decision is attributed with the eco-innovation code 31.
2. The certified CO2 savings recorded by reference to that eco-innovation code may only be taken into account for the calculation of the average specific emissions of manufacturers for the calendar year 2020.
