COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2023/1634
of 5 June 2023
amending Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council setting CO2 emission performance standards for new passenger cars and for new light commercial vehicles
(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 Article 7(8), Article 10(8), second subparagraph, and Article 15(8) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2019/631 provides detailed methods for the calculation of the specific emissions targets for manufacturers of passenger cars and of light commercial vehicles. |
(2) |
Since 1 January 2021, the CO2 emission standards are based on CO2 emissions data determined in accordance with the Worldwide harmonised Light vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) as set out in Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 (2). Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2019/631 has been amended by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/2173 (3) to take account of the introduction of the WLTP, by clarifying how the specific emissions targets of particular types of manufacturers are to be determined. However, further clarification is needed for manufacturers that are members of a pool in order to provide for the calculation method for the specific emissions targets for the calendar years 2021 to 2024. |
(3) |
Part A of Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2019/631 specifies the calculation method for the derogation targets applicable in the calendar years 2021 to 2024. For legal certainty, it is necessary to specify the calculation method also for the derogation targets applicable in the calendar years 2025 to 2028, as referred to in Article 10(4), second subparagraph, point (c), of that Regulation. |
(4) |
In order to distinguish between the case of complete and incomplete base vehicles, the definition of test mass (‘TM’) for the average test mass in kilograms of all new light commercial vehicles set out in Part B, point 6.2.1., of Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2019/631 should be adapted. |
(5) |
Annexes II and III to Regulation (EU) 2019/631 specify the type and format of the data to be collected by Member States, or manufacturers, and transmitted annually to the Commission concerning new passenger cars and new light commercial vehicles. Based on the experience gained, it has become evident that certain monitoring parameters could be removed in order to facilitate the monitoring process, as those parameters are not used for the calculation of the specific emissions targets or average specific emissions, and should therefore be removed without hampering the robust assessment of the manufacturers’ compliance with their specific emissions targets. In addition, it is necessary to add certain new parameters, in particular for the purpose of the verification of the CO2 emissions of vehicles in-service. Those changes to the parameters need to be reflected for the type of data to be collected in Part A of Annex II and Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EU) 2019/631 as well as for the formats for the data collection in Part B of Annex II and Part B of Annex III to that Regulation. |
(6) |
Annex III to Regulation (EU) 2019/631 details a procedure for manufacturers to calculate the CO2 emissions and mass values in the case of light commercial vehicles that are type-approved in multiple stages. In the case of an individual incomplete base vehicle, the vehicle mass is to be calculated in accordance with Part A, point 1.2.4, of Annex III to Regulation (EU) 2019/631, taking into account the body mass value (B0), which has been set at 1,375 for the calculations relating to calendar year 2021. For the calendar years from 2022 to 2024, that value should be revised based on the average of the mass in running order of new incomplete base vehicles registered in the Union in the calendar years 2018, 2019 and 2020. |
(7) |
In the absence of the final CO2 monitoring data for new light commercial vehicles for the calendar year 2020, the revision of the B0 value could not be finalised by 31 October 2021 as provided for in Part A, point 1.2.4, of Annex III to Regulation (EU) 2019/631. Taking into account that revising the B0 value using only the data for the calendar years 2018 and 2019 would have resulted in a value that was very close to the current B0 value and in order to facilitate the implementation and provide legal certainty for the manufacturers concerned, it is appropriate to maintain the currently applicable B0 value for the calendar year 2022. For the calendar years 2023 and 2024, the revised B0 value has been calculated based on the final monitoring data for light commercial vehicles for the calendar years 2018, 2019 and 2020. Furthermore, to provide legal certainty for manufacturers after 2024, it is necessary to clarify that the revised B0 value remains applicable also in the years after 2024. |
(8) |
A clarification is needed to better take into account the different ways to determine the aerodynamic influence in the case of incomplete N1 base vehicles as part of the calculation of the monitoring CO2 emissions. |
(9) |
Part B of Annex III to Regulation (EU) 2019/631 contains certain information relating in particular to the NEDC regulatory test procedure that has become obsolete, and should therefore be deleted. |
(10) |
Regulation (EU) 2019/631 should therefore be amended accordingly, |
