COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2019/986
of 7 March 2019
amending Annexes I and II to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the monitoring of CO2 emissions from new light commercial vehicles type-approved in a multi-stage process
(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 second subparagraph of Article 8(9) and the fourth subparagraph of Article 13(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
From 1 September 2019 all light-duty vehicles will be subject to a new regulatory test procedure for measuring CO2 emissions and fuel consumption from light duty vehicles, the World Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) set out in Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 (2), replacing the New European Test Cycle (NEDC) set out in Commission Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 (3). A new methodology for determining the CO2 emissions and fuel consumption from category N1 vehicles which are type-approved in a multi-stage process (‘multi-stage vehicles’) should therefore be established. |
(2) |
Under Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 the specific emissions of CO2 of a multi-stage vehicle are to be allocated to the manufacturer of the base vehicle. In order to allow the base vehicle manufacturer to plan effectively and with sufficient certainty its compliance with its specific emissions targets, a methodology should be set up that ensures that the CO2 emissions and mass of incomplete base vehicles that will be allocated to that manufacturer are known at the moment of the production and sale of the incomplete base vehicle, and not only at the moment when the final stage manufacturer places the completed vehicle on the market. |
(3) |
In determining the incomplete base vehicle CO2 emissions, it is appropriate to use the interpolation method provided for in Regulation (EU) 2017/1151, where the specific input values should be designed so as to result in CO2 emissions and mass values that are as representative as possible of those values subsequently determined for the final completed vehicle. In order to ensure consistency, the calculation of the base vehicle manufacturer's specific emission target should take into account the mass values determined for that purpose. |
(4) |
The base vehicle manufacturer should report the input values used for the interpolation method as well as the incomplete base vehicle CO2 emissions and the mass values to the Commission. At the same time, Member States should continue to report to the Commission the specific emissions of CO2 and mass of the final completed vehicles. |
(5) |
On the basis of those reported data, the Commission should continuously assess the representativeness of the base vehicle CO2 emission values and inform the manufacturers of any divergences found. In the case of a significant and continued divergence between the average specific CO2 emissions of the final completed vehicle and the average of the monitoring CO2 values determined for the base vehicle manufacturer, the values for the final completed vehicles should be used for the purposes of determining whether manufacturers comply with their specific emissions targets. |
(6) |
Annexes I and II to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annexes I and II to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

ANNEX
Annexes I and II to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 are amended as follows:
(1) |
In Annex I, in point 1(c), the following paragraph is added: ‘In the case of incomplete multi-stage vehicles referred to in point 1a of Part A of Annex II, the monitoring mass (Mmon) shall be used instead of the value M. The monitoring mass shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula:
