Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1840
of 31 October 2019
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1153 as regards the reporting of WLTP CO2 values for certain categories of new passenger cars 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 (EC) No 443/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 setting emission performance standards for new passenger cars as part of the Community’s integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 8(9) and the first subparagraph of Article 13(7) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council provides that the EU fleet-wide CO2 emissions targets for 2025 and 2030 for new passenger cars are to be calculated on the basis of the CO2 emissions measured in accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 for new passenger cars registered in 2020 (hereinafter ‘measured CO2 emission values’).
(2)
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1153 sets out rules about the calculation and reporting by manufacturers of the 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).
(3)
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.
(4)
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, however, be provided to the Commission in the same way as for conventional vehicles.
(5)
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1153 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Climate Change Committee,
