COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2020/22
of 31 October 2019
amending Annexes I and III to Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the monitoring of CO2 emissions from new light commercial vehicles type-approved in a multi-stage process
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2019 setting CO2 emission performance standards for new passenger cars and for new light commercial vehicles, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 443/2009 and (EU) No 510/2011 (1), and in particular Articles 7(8) and 15(8) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Since 1 September 2019 all light commercial vehicles are subject to a new regulatory test procedure for measuring CO2 emissions and fuel consumption, the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) set out in Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 (2), replacing the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) set out in Commission Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 (3). A new methodology for determining the CO2 emissions and fuel consumption from category N1 vehicles which are type-approved in a multi-stage process has therefore been established and is set out in Annexes I and II to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4). |
(2) |
In view of the repeal of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 from 1 January 2020, it is necessary to ensure that the same methodology is set out in Regulation (EU) 2019/631. |
(3) |
According to point 2 of Part B of Annex III to Regulation (EU) 2019/631, the specific emissions of CO2 of a multi-stage vehicle are to be allocated to the manufacturer of the base vehicle. In order to allow the base vehicle manufacturer to plan effectively and with sufficient certainty its compliance with its specific emissions targets, a methodology should be set up that ensures that the CO2 emissions and mass of the completed vehicles that will be allocated to that manufacturer are known at the moment of the production and sale of the base vehicle whether complete or incomplete, and not only at the moment when the final stage manufacturer places the completed vehicle on the market. |
(4) |
A specific methodology for determining the CO2 emissions of an incomplete base vehicle is therefore provided according to which the interpolation method provided for in Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 should be used. The CO2 emissions and the mass values thus determined should be as representative as possible of the specific CO2 emissions and mass in running order that will be determined for the completed vehicle. In order to ensure consistency, the calculation of the base vehicle manufacturer’s specific emission target should therefore take into account the mass values determined pursuant to this methodology. |
(5) |
The base vehicle manufacturer should report the input values used for the interpolation method as well as the resulting CO2 emissions and mass of incomplete base vehicles to the Commission. At the same time, Member States should continue to report to the Commission the specific emissions of CO2 and mass in running order of the completed vehicles. |
(6) |
On the basis of those reported data, the Commission should continuously assess the representativeness of the monitoring CO2 emissions of the base vehicle and inform the manufacturers of any divergences found. In the case of a significant and continued divergence between the average of the monitoring CO2 values of the base vehicles and the average of the specific emissions of CO2 of the completed vehicles, the values for the completed vehicles should be used for the purposes of determining whether manufacturers comply with their specific emissions targets. |
(7) |
In order to take into account that Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 is repealed with effect from 1 January 2020, it is appropriate to ensure that this Regulation enters into force as close as possible to that date. |
(8) |
Annexes I and III to Regulation (EU) 2019/631 should therefore be amended accordingly, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annexes I and III to Regulation (EU) 2019/631 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
