WP.29/2018/50
UN R85: Proposal for Supplement 8 to the original series

Proposal to clarify the wording of the determination of the net power for electric motors and to correct an error in the formula presented in paragraph 5.4.2. Diesel engines – Factor αd. The parameter “fm” in the equation should be a superscript (e.g., meaning “to the power of fm”). Through a transcription error, this factor was rendered in normal text.
