3 Terms and definitions at the vehicle's level
3.1 Electrically propelled road vehicle
road vehicle in which electric energy is transformed by electrical machine(s) into mechanical energy for traction
purposes
NOTE Traction is the term used with the same meaning as propulsion, but for historical reasons, this is the most widely
used term.
3.2 Types of electrically propelled road vehicles
3.2.1
electrically supplied road vehicle
road vehicle which is supplied by electric energy as an external energy input for traction purpose
It comprises two families :
first family : infrastructure independent (i.e. autonomous) when driving. This road vehicle has an on board
secondary electric energy source for traction purposes which is recharged / replaced periodically ;
NOTE Replacement / fuel refil of an on board primary electric energy source is not regarded as an electric energy supply.

second family : infrastructure dependent when driving. This road vehicle is electrically supplied from the
outside when driving.
3.2.2
pure electric road vehicle
electrically propelled and infrastructure independent, exclusively electrically supplied road vehicle
3.2.3
hybrid vehicle
vehicle in which the propulsion energy is available from two or more types of on board energy sources, creating at
least one path of energy flow between an energy storage and the wheels which is reversible and at least one path
of energy flow between an enery storage and the wheels which in not reversible
3.2.4
electric hybrid (road) vehicle
hybrid vehicle in which one of the reversible energy sources delivers electric energy
3.2.5
thermal electric hybrid vehicle
electric hybrid vehicle in which the traction system contains a thermal machine
NOTE Vehicle integrating electric machine(s) for functional assistance to the engine such as load levelling devices,
