EU – Amendment to the R(EU) 2017/1151 with respect to emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles - New version of the draft included in EU initiative
Has been published a new EU Initiative containing the draft proposal for new EU Regulation aiming to amend the Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151as regards the emission type approval procedures for light passenger and commercial vehicles.
The amendments proposed are focused on the following points:
- Provisions on access to vehicle on-board diagnostics (OBD) information and vehicle repair and maintenance information;
- Real Driving Emission (RDE) methodology;
- Monitoring the consumption of fuel and/or electric energy;
- Alternative Emission Strategy (AES) activation;
- In-service conformity (ISC);
- UNECE Regulation No.154.This initiative will be in feedback period until 20 June 2022.
This proposal aligns R(EU) 2017/1151 with R(EU) 2018/858 and UNECE Regulation No.154. The introductory part of article 2 on definitions and definition of vehicle type with regard to emissions are amended as follows:
For the purposes of this Regulation, the definitions in Regulation (EU) 2018/858 of the European Parliament and the Council shall apply.
Vehicle type with regard to emissions’ means a group of vehicles which:
- Do not differ with respect to the criteria constituting an "interpolation family" as specified in paragraph 6.3.2 of UN Regulation No 154;
- Fall in a single "CO2 interpolation range" within the meaning of paragraph 2.3.2 of Annex B6 to UN Regulation No. 154 or paragraph 4.5.1. of Annex B8 to UN Regulation 154;
- Exhaust gas recirculation (with or without, internal/external, cooled/non-cooled, low/high/combined pressure).
In article 2 on definitions amendments are also made to the following definitions: EC type-approval of a vehicle with regard to emissions, type of pollution control device, mono fuel gas vehicle, bi-fuel vehicle, properly maintained and used, malfunction, driving cycle, third party and deteriorated replacement pollution control device.
