Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 134/2014 of 16 December 2013 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 168/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to environmental and propulsion unit performance requirements and amending Annex V thereof Text with EEA relevance

(4) World Harmonised Motorcycle Test Cycle (WMTC) stage 3 (Revised WMTC)

The WMTC stage 3 to be used on the chassis dynamometer shall be as depicted in the following graph for (sub-)category L3e, L4e, L5e-A, L7e-A, L7e-B and L7e-C vehicles:

The ‘revised WMTC’ also referred to as ‘WMTC stage 3’ as shown in Figure Ap 6-9 is applicable for L3e, L4e, L5e-A, L7e-A, L7e-B and L7e-C vehicles and the vehicle speed trace of WMTC stage 3 is equivalent to WMTC stages 1 and 2. The WMTC stage 3 lasts 1 800 seconds and consists of two parts for vehicles with a low maximum design vehicle speed and three parts for the other L-category vehicles to be carried out without interruption if allowed by maximum vehicle speed limitation. The characteristic driving conditions (idling, acceleration, steady speed, deceleration, etc.) of WMTC stage 3 are laid down in chapter 3, which sets out the detailed vehicle speed trace of the WMTC stage 2.

The WMTC stage 3 to be used on the chassis dynamometer shall be a depicted in the following graph for (sub-)category L1e-A, L1e-B, L2e, L6e-A and L6e-B vehicles with a low maximum vehicle design speed:

2.1 The cold and warm vehicle speed traces are identical.

3.1. The vehicle speed trace WMTC stage 3 shown in Figure Ap 6-10 is applicable for L1e-A, L1e-B, L2e, L5e-B, L6e-A and L6e-B (sub-)category vehicles and is equivalent to the vehicle speed trace WMTC stages 1 and 2, part 1 for class 1 vehicles, driven once cold followed by the same vehicle speed driven with a warmed-up propulsion. The WMTC stage 3 for L1e-A, L1e-B, L2e, L5e-B, L6e-A and L6e-B (sub-)category vehicles lasts 1 200 seconds and consists of two equivalent parts to be carried out without interruption.
