COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2018/2043
of 18 December 2018
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1153 to clarify the WLTP test conditions and provide for the monitoring of type approval data
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to 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 (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 13(7) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
In order to take into account the difference in the level of CO2 emissions determined under the New European Test Cycle (NEDC) and those determined under the new Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP), a methodology for correlating the CO2 emission values has been put in place through Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1153 (2) with regard to passenger cars. |
(2) |
The correlation methodology is to deliver results that ensure that the reduction requirements set out in Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 are of comparable stringency under the old and the new test procedures. Approval authorities and technical services should therefore, together with manufacturers, strive to ensure that WLTP and NEDC tests that are carried out for the purpose of this Regulation are performed under test conditions that are comparable and coherent with the objective of this Regulation. |
(3) |
For that purpose, it is necessary to clarify certain aspects of the WLTP test conditions that should apply for the correlations performed in view of providing WLTP and NEDC monitoring CO2 emissions data for vehicles newly registered in 2020. Those clarifications should apply without prejudice to the procedure and requirements set out in Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 (3) and without affecting the validity of any type approvals granted on that basis. |
(4) |
It is also necessary to determine the difference in 2020 between CO2 emission values declared by the manufacturers for the purpose of the emissions type approval and those measured pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151. Manufacturers should therefore be required to calculate and report to the Commission the WLTP CO2 emission values for all new passenger cars registered in the calendar year 2020 using the measurement values for vehicle H and L as input to the interpolation method. |
(5) |
For a limited number of interpolation families, only vehicle H measurement values will be available in 2020. The number of those families should be closely monitored and the Commission should consider excluding those families from the calculation of the 2020 reference data, should there be a significant increase in the number of such families as compared to the 2018 situation. |
(6) |
The transparency in the emissions testing should be improved, and data on the WLTP tests as well as on the correlation results should therefore be made available to the Commission. This will allow the Commission to swiftly identify and address issues and possible inconsistencies relating to the implementation of the procedures. For that reason, the input data matrix should be completed for each WLTP test performed and be transmitted to the Commission in its entirety as part of the correlation tool data exchange. To ensure confidentiality, the input data file should be encrypted in view of the transmission. |
(7) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Climate Change Committee, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1153 is amended as follows:
(1) |
The following Article 7a is added: ‘Article 7a Reporting of WLTP measurement results 1. Manufacturers shall calculate the combined CO2 value for each new passenger car registered in 2020 in accordance with the formula set out in the second subparagraph of paragraph 3.2.3.2.4 of Sub-Annex 7 to Annex XXI to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151, where the terms MCO2-H and MCO2-L shall, for the interpolation family concerned, be replaced by the values MCO2,C,5 taken from the entries 2.5.1.1.3 (vehicle H) and 2.5.1.2.3. (vehicle L) of the EC type-approval certificate as indicated in the model set out in appendix 4 to Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151. Where the combined CO2 emissions of the individual vehicle are determined by reference to vehicle H only, the manufacturers shall provide the MCO2,C,5 value taken from the entry 2.5.1.1.3 (vehicle H) of the EC type approval certificate. The manufacturers shall submit those CO2 emission values, together with the MCO2,C,5 values used for the calculation, to the Commission at the latest three months following receipt of the notification by the Commission of the provisional data for 2020 by uploading that data on the manufacturer's account in the Business Data Repository of the European Environment Agency. 2. Where the data referred to in paragraph 1 is not submitted within the deadline indicated, the Commission shall take the value recorded in entry 2.5.1.2.3. of the EC type-approval certificate and consider that value as the combined CO2 emissions for the purposes of paragraph 1 for all new registered vehicles in the interpolation family for which the type approval certificate was issued, and, where applicable, the value indicated in entry 2.5.1.1.3 for those families where only vehicle H measurements are available. 3. The Commission shall monitor the number of interpolation families for which the CO2 emissions are determined by reference to vehicle H only for each manufacturer, and shall, in the case of an increase in the number of such families as compared to the situation in 2018, assess the impact of that increase on the calculation referred to in paragraph 1, and where appropriate, exclude those families from that calculation.’ |
(2) |
Annex I is amended as follows:
|
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Point 2(c) and (d) of Article 1 shall apply from 1 February 2019.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 18 December 2018.
For the Commission
The President
Jean-Claude JUNCKER
(2) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1153 of 2 June 2017 setting out a methodology for determining the correlation parameters necessary for reflecting the change in the regulatory test procedure and amending Regulation (EU) No 1014/2010 (OJ L 175, 7.7.2017, p. 679).
(3) Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 of 1 June 2017 supplementing 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, amending Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, Commission Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 and Commission Regulation (EU) No 1230/2012 and repealing Commission Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 (OJ L 175, 7.7.2017, p. 1).
