COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2018/732

of 17 May 2018

on a common methodology for alternative fuels unit price comparison in accordance with Directive 2014/94/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council

(Text with EEA relevance)



Article 1

The common methodology for alternative fuels unit price comparison within the meaning of Article 7(3) of Directive 2014/94/EU, based on prices expressed as amounts of applicable currency per 100 km, is set out in the Annex.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following the date of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

▼M1

It shall apply from 7 December 2020.

▼B

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.




ANNEX

1. The common methodology set out in this Annex concerns alternative fuels as defined in Article 2(1) of Directive 2014/94/EU.

2. The methodology provides, for the purposes of displays at fuel stations as referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 7(3) of Directive 2014/94/EU, the basic calculation allowing an indicative comparison of prices, based on samples of passenger car models that are established by Member States and that are comparable at least in view of their weight and their power, but use different fuels.

3. The methodology defines how, for the purposes of such comparison, prices of petrol and diesel and alternative fuels are expressed as amounts of applicable currency per 100 km. The calculation is based on the following factors:

(a) 

fuel consumption of the respective vehicle per 100 km indicated in the certificate of conformity of vehicles referred to in Article 18 of Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 1 );

(b) 

if applicable, fuel consumption values per 100 km determined by Member States for biofuel blends with petrol or diesel ( 2 );

(c) 

market prices per unit of the respective fuels, expressed in the applicable currency for the units referred to in the Member State concerned, in accordance with Directive 98/6/EC (hereafter: conventional units).

4. The price expressed as amount of applicable currency per 100 km is calculated as follows:

Fuel price in applicable currency per conventional unit × fuel consumption per 100 km.

5. The price of fuels in conventional units taken into account is the average price over maximum the last calendar quarter prior to the time of calculation.



( 1 ) Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 September 2007 establishing a framework for the approval of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles (OJ L 263, 9.10.2007, p. 1).

( 2 ) Directive 2009/30/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 amending Directive 98/70/EC as regards the specification of petrol, diesel and gas-oil and introducing a mechanism to monitor and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and amending Council Directive 1999/32/EC as regards the specification of fuel used by inland waterway vessels and repealing Directive 93/12/EEC (OJ L 140, 5.6.2009, p. 88).
