    COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) …/... amending Annexes I, II, IV and V to Regulation (EU) 2018/858 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the technical requirements for vehicles produced in unlimited series, vehicles produced in small series, fully automated vehicles produced in small series and special purpose vehicles, and as regards software update

    Please be aware that this draft act does not constitute the final position of the institution.

    EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

    1.CONTEXT OF THE DELEGATED ACT

    This Regulation aims to set out the technical requirements to be applied for the purpose of EU type-approval of vehicles produced in small series and of special purpose vehicles with regard to the systems introduced by Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 of the European Parliament and of the Council and the delegated acts and implementing acts adopted pursuant to it.

    In accordance with Article 41(5), the Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts amending Appendix 1 of Part I to Annex II to set out the technical requirements for vehicle categories M, N and O and amending point 1 of Part A of Annex V accordingly as regards the quantitative annual limits.

    In addition, recital (35) of Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 also calls on the Commission, when laying down the requirements for vehicles produced in small quantities to give appropriate consideration to vehicles or classes of vehicles where those requirements are incompatible with the use or design of such vehicles, or where the additional burden imposed by them is disproportionate.

    Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2018/858 is amended to introduce two new categories of trailers and one additional type of bodywork to take account of technical progress and regulatory development 1 . It is necessary, for the purpose of CO2 certification, to distinguish trailers and semi-trailers from link trailers used in EMS combinations.

    The table in Annex II, Part I to Regulation (EU) 2018/858, containing the list of regulatory acts for EU type-approval of vehicles produced in unlimited series, is brought up-to-date to take into account technological and regulatory developments by introducing and updating the references to Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 and the delegated acts and implementing acts adopted pursuant to it. In addition, the layout of the table is aligned to the format of the table in Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 in view to provide legal clarity and simplification.

    Annex II, Part I, Appendix 1 to Regulation (EU) 2018/858, containing the requirements for EU type-approval of vehicles produced in small series is amended and complemented to take into account Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 and the delegated acts and implementing acts adopted pursuant to it. In addition, the requirements for the EU whole vehicle type-approval of fully automated vehicles produced in small series are set out in a new Table 2 to that Appendix.

    The requirements for EU type-approval of special purpose vehicles in the tables in Annex II, Part III, Appendices 1 to 6 to Regulation (EU) 2018/858 are amended and complemented to take into account Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 and the delegated acts and implementing acts adopted pursuant to it.

    The table in Annex II, Part II to Regulation (EU) 2018/858, containing the list of the UN Regulations recognised as an alternative to the Directives or Regulations referred to in Part I, is also updated.

    Annex IV to Regulation (EU) 2018/858 contains requirements relating to the conformity of production. In accordance with Article 31(8), the Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 82, amending Annex IV to take account of technological and regulatory developments. As software update should be considered as a part of the production process, Annex IV should be amended so as to provide for procedures and arrangements that manufacturers should be required to implement to ensure the conformity and security of software update.

    Annexes I, II, IV and V to Regulation (EU) 2018/858 are therefore amended in accordance with the Annexes to this Regulation.

    This Regulation also provides transitional period of 2 years for the application of the requirements for new vehicle types (7 July 2024) and additional 2 years for all new vehicles produced in small series and special purpose vehicles (7 July 2026).

    2.CONSULTATIONS PRIOR TO THE ADOPTION OF THE ACT

    In the preparation of this act, the Commission carried out appropriate consultations with the Member States experts.

    3.LEGAL ELEMENTS OF THE DELEGATED ACT

    The legal basis of this delegated act is Articles 4(2), 5(3), 31(8) and 41(5) of Regulation (EU) 2018/858.

    COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) …/...

    of XXX

    amending Annexes I, II, IV and V to Regulation (EU) 2018/858 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the technical requirements for vehicles produced in unlimited series, vehicles produced in small series, fully automated vehicles produced in small series and special purpose vehicles, and as regards software update

    (Text with EEA relevance)

    THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

    Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2018/858 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles, amending Regulations (EC) No 715/2007 and (EC) No 595/2009 and repealing Directive 2007/46/EC 2 , and in particular Article 4(2), Article 5(3), Article 31(8) and Article 41(5) thereof, 

    Whereas:

    (1)For the purpose of CO2 certification, as provided in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/… on the determination of the performance of heavy-duty trailers with regard to their influence on the CO2 emissions, fuel and energy consumption of motor vehicles 3 , it is necessary to distinguish trailers and semi-trailers from link trailers used in energy management systems (EMS) combinations. In order to take into account technical progress and regulatory developments, new types of bodywork should be added to the list of vehicles of category O as set out in Annex I, Part C, point 5, to Regulation (EU) 2018/858.

    (2)The table set out in Annex II, Part I, to Regulation (EU) 2018/858 contains the list of requirements for EU type-approval of vehicles produced in unlimited series, with a list of corresponding regulatory acts. It is necessary to take into account technological and regulatory developments by updating some of the references in that table setting out the requirements for vehicles, systems, components and separate technical units. In particular, reference to Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 of the European Parliament and of the Council 4  should be introduced. Furthermore, for reasons of legal clarity and simplification, it is appropriate to align the layout of that table to the one contained in Annex II to that Regulation.

    (3)The table set out in Annex II, Part I, Appendix 1, to Regulation (EU) 2018/858 contains the list of regulatory acts for EU type-approval of vehicles produced in small series pursuant to Article 41 of that Regulation. It is necessary to set out the technical requirements for the EU type-approval of such vehicles with respect to the systems provided for in Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 and in the delegated acts and implementing acts adopted pursuant to that Regulation. It is also necessary to set out the requirements that should apply to the EU whole-vehicle type approval of fully automated vehicles produced in small series to allow for a progressive but quick introduction of the technology in line with the application dates set out in Regulation (EU) 2019/2144.

    (4)The tables set out in Annex II, Part III, Appendices 1 to 6, to Regulation (EU) 2018/858 contain the specific requirements for EU type-approval of special purpose vehicles. Those requirements should be amended to take into account Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 and the delegated acts and implementing acts adopted pursuant to that Regulation.

    (5)When setting out the requirements for vehicles produced in small series or special purpose vehicles, it is necessary to take into account the cases where the requirements provided for vehicles produced in large series are incompatible with the use or design of such vehicles, or where the additional burden imposed by them is disproportionate. For this reason, sufficient lead time should be provided to manufacturers of vehicles produced in small series and of special purpose vehicles to implement the requirements laid down in this Regulation. In addition, those requirements should first apply from 7 July 2024 to new types of vehicles and from 7 July 2026 for all new vehicles.

    (6)In accordance with Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2019/2144, some of the UN Regulations listed in the table set out in Annex II, Part II, to Regulation (EU) 2018/858 should apply for the purposes of EU type-approval. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to recognise such UN Regulations as an alternative to the regulatory acts listed in Part I of that Annex and, consequently, they should be removed from that table.

    (7)On the basis of Council Decision (EU) 2020/848 of 16 June 2020 5 , the position taken on behalf of the European Union in the relevant Committees of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe was in favour of UN Regulation No 156 – Uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicles with regards to software update and software update management system [2021/388] 6 , with the view to apply it for the purposes of EU type-approval. It is necessary to add UN Regulation No 156 to the list of regulatory acts setting out the requirements for the EU whole-vehicle type-approval. As Annex IV to Regulation (EU) 2018/858 contains the requirements relating to arrangements to ensure conformity of production, it is appropriate to introduce a reference to UN Regulation No 156 in that Annex, as part of the procedures and arrangements that manufacturers are to put in place to ensure the conformity and security of software update.

    (8)With technology development, motor vehicles are becoming increasingly complex using more electronic systems that require regular software update. Since such software update may affect the functioning of other approved systems and functionalities in the vehicles concerned, the manufacturers should establish a software update management system as part of their conformity of production process. Sufficient time should be provided to manufacturers to integrate such systems into the whole-vehicle type-approval and in particular in respect to new complete and new completed vehicles respectively.

    (9)For the purpose of the EU whole-vehicle type-approval of fully automated vehicles of categories M2, M3, N2 and N3, it is necessary to set out in Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2018/858 the quantitative annual limits that should apply to those vehicles.

    (10)Annexes I, II, IV and V to Regulation (EU) 2018/858 should therefore be amended in accordance with the Annexes to this Regulation,

    Test mode needed.

    Additional to the requirements EMC tests described in Annex 4-22 to UN Regulation No 10, the following procedure before and during initial EMC tests shall be followed:

    1. When a fully automated vehicle with an ADS is EMC tested, the ADS functions should be switched on and also work in active mode. However certain limitations in use case can be observed. Therefore, before executing the EMC test, the type-approval authority needs to be consulted about the test program to agree about the Pass/Fail criteria proposal made by the EMC lab according to paragraph 6.1.2 of UN Regulation No 10.

    Before testing the Technical Service has to prepare a test plan in conjunction with the manufacturer, which contains at least mode of operation, stimulated function(s), monitored function(s), pass/fail criterion (criteria) and intended emissions.

    3. The manufacturer of the vehicle or Electric/electronic subassembly (ESA) shall fill in the information according to UN Regulation 10, Annex 2A or 2B. The EMC lab shall make this available as an annex to the test report.”.

    4. In case if a remote intervention is used and could influence the behaviour of the vehicle the remote intervention should be part of the EMC test plan.

    5. When it's needed during the initial test, to install Ferrite blocks or aluminium foil on several elements to pass the EMC tests, it proofs that the EMC design of the approval was weak and potential prone to variation.

    Therefore the initial tests can never be used for further revision or extension for further vehicles or adding/changing ESA's (Electronic Sub-Assemblies)

    to the vehicle / DUT’s.

    Modification of exhaust system length after the last silencer not exceeding 2.0 m is permissible without any further test.

    In the case of ambulances, an EU type-approval granted to the most representative base vehicle remains valid irrespective of a change in the reference weight.

    Motor-caravans and hearses:

    In the case of conversion of a vehicle (e.g. in a multi-stage type-approval process), the manufacturer responsible for the conversion needs to consult the original (complete or incomplete) vehicle manufacturer to get confirmation that the converted vehicle is covered by the emission approval of the original (complete or incomplete) vehicle. It is allowed for the reference mass of the converted vehicle to exceed 2840 kg.

    In the case of multi-stage type-approval, the new CO2 value shall be calculated in accordance with the CO2 interpolation method, using the relevant data from the completed vehicle. Alternatively, the new CO2 value shall be calculated on the basis of the parameters of the completed vehicle as specified in paragraph 3.2.4. of Annex B7 to UN Regulation 154 and using the road load matrix tool supplied by the manufacturer of the base vehicle. If the tool is not available or CO2 interpolation is impractical, the CO2 value of Vehicle High from the base vehicle shall be used, at the request of the manufacturer responsible for the conversion, and with the agreement of the approval authority.
