# Commission Regulation (EU) 2018/1832 of 5 November 2018 amending Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, Commission Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 and Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 for the purpose of improving the emission type approval tests and procedures for light passenger and commercial vehicles, including those for in-service conformity and real-driving emissions and introducing devices for monitoring the consumption of fuel and electric energy (Text with EEA relevance), Annex VII

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Annex XII to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 is amended as follows:
(1) the heading is replaced by the following:
‘ TYPE-APPROVAL OF VEHICLES FITTED WITH ECO-INNOVATIONS AND DETERMINATION OF CO2 EMISSIONS AND FUEL CONSUMPTION FROM VEHICLES SUBMITTED TO MULTI-STAGE TYPE-APPROVAL OR INDIVIDUAL VEHICLE APPROVAL ’;
(2) point 1.4. is deleted;
(3) point 2 is replaced by the following:
‘2.
DETERMINATION OF CO2 EMISSIONS AND FUEL CONSUMPTION FROM VEHICLES SUBMITTED TO MULTI-STAGE TYPE-APPROVAL OR INDIVIDUAL VEHICLE APPROVAL
2.1.
For the purpose of determining the CO2 emissions and fuel consumption of a vehicle submitted to multi-stage type-approval, as defined in Article 3(7) of Directive 2007/46/EC, the procedures of Annex XXI apply. However, at the choice of the manufacturer and irrespective of the technically permissible maximum laden mass, the alternative described in paragraphs 2.2. to 2.6. may be used where the base vehicle is incomplete.
2.2.
A road load matrix family, as defined in paragraph 5.8. of Annex XXI, shall be established based on the parameters of a representative multi-stage vehicle in accordance with paragraph 4.2.1.4. of Sub-Annex 4 to Annex XXI.
2.3.
The manufacturer of the base vehicle shall calculate the road load coefficients of vehicle HM and LM of a road load matrix family as set out in paragraph 5. of Sub-Annex 4 to Annex XXI and shall determine the CO2 emission and fuel consumption in a Type 1 test of both vehicles. The manufacturer of the base vehicle shall make available a calculation tool to establish, on the basis of the parameters of completed vehicles, the final fuel consumption and CO2 values as specified in Sub-Annex 7 to Annex XXI.
2.4.
The calculation of road load and running resistance for an individual multi stage vehicle shall be performed in accordance with paragraph 5.1. of Sub-Annex 4 of Annex XXI.
2.5.
The final fuel consumption and CO2 values shall be calculated by the final-stage manufacturer on the basis of the parameters of the completed vehicle as specified in paragraph 3.2.4. of Sub-Annex 7 of Annex XXI and using the tool supplied by the manufacturer of the base vehicle.
2.6.
The manufacturer of the completed vehicle shall include, in the certificate of conformity, the information of the completed vehicles and add the information of the base vehicles in accordance with Annex IX to Directive 2007/46/EC.
2.7.
In the case of multi stage vehicles submitted to individual vehicle approval, the individual approval certificate shall include the following information:
(a) the CO2 emissions measured in accordance with the methodology set out in points 2.1 to 2.6.;
(b) the mass of the completed vehicle in running order;
(c) the identification code corresponding to the type, variant and version of the base vehicle;
(d) the type-approval number of the base vehicle, including the extension number;
(e) the name and address of the manufacturer of the base vehicle;
(f) the mass of the base vehicle in running order.
2.8.
In the case of multi stage type approvals or individual vehicle approval where the base vehicle is a complete vehicle with a valid certificate of conformity, the final stage manufacturer shall consult the base vehicle manufacturer to set the new CO2 value in accordance with the CO2 interpolation using the appropriate data from the completed vehicle or calculate the new CO2 value on the basis of the parameters of the completed vehicle as specified in paragraph 3.2.4. of Sub-Annex 7 of Annex XXI and using the tool supplied by the manufacturer of the base vehicle as mentioned in paragraph 2.3. above. If the tool is not available or the CO2 interpolation is not possible, the CO2 value of Vehicle High from the base vehicle shall be used with the agreement of the approval authority.’;
