COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/1839

of 31 October 2019

amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1152 as regard the determination and reporting of WLTP CO2 values for certain categories of new light commercial vehicles and adjusting the input data for the correlation tool

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2011 setting emission performance standards for new light commercial vehicles as part of the Union’s integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 8(9) and the third subparagraph of Article 13(6) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Light commercial vehicles for which type-approvals have been granted pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) and extended pursuant to the fourth paragraph of Article 2 of that Regulation may be placed on the market in 2020, and as end-of-series vehicles until June 2022, with CO2 emission values determined in accordance with the New European Drive Cycle (NEDC).

(2)

Those vehicles should, however, be adequately accounted for in the calculation of the specific CO2 emission targets applicable to manufacturers from 2021 to 2024, and for verifying compliance with those targets in the years 2021 and 2022 in accordance with points 1 to 5 of Part B of Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3).

(3)

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1152 (4) provides a methodology for the correlation of NEDC CO2 emission values and those determined in accordance with the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) as set out in Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 (5). It is therefore appropriate to clarify in Regulation (EU) 2017/1152 which WLTP CO2 emission values should be attributed to this specific group of light commercial vehicles, with a view to ensuring that those values take into account the CO2 emission values that are to be determined for this group of vehicles from 1 January 2021 in accordance with Annex VIII to Commission Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 (6).

(4)

Regulation (EU) 2019/631 provides that the EU fleet-wide CO2 emission targets for new light commercial vehicles for 2025 and 2030 are to be calculated on the basis of the CO2 emissions measured in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 for new light commercial vehicles registered in 2020 (hereinafter ‘measured CO2 emission values’).

(5)

Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1152 sets out rules about the calculation and reporting by manufacturers of those measured CO2 emission values. It is, however, necessary to further specify how those values are to be determined, in particular, as regards Not-Off-Vehicle Charging Hybrid Electric Vehicles (NOVC-HEV) and Off-Vehicle Charging Hybrid Electric Vehicles (OVC-HEV).

(6)

It should also be clarified how the measured CO2 emission values are to be determined where several CO2 emissions tests are performed for the purpose of type-approval.

(7)

The correlation of the CO2 emissions of NOVC-HEVs and OVC-HEVs should be performed on the basis of physical vehicle tests and not on the basis of simulations performed by the correlation tool, due to the complexity of adapting the correlation tool to take into account such vehicle technologies. In order to ensure effective verification of the correlation results, technical test data relating to those vehicles should be provided to the Commission in the same way as for conventional vehicles.

(8)

Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1152 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(9)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Climate Change Committee,
