Commission Regulation (EU) 2019/318 of 19 February 2019 amending Regulation (EU) 2017/2400 and Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the determination of the CO2 emissions and fuel consumption of heavy-duty vehicles (Text with EEA relevance.)

‘2 In case of multi-stage type-approvals or individual approvals of vehicles referred to in paragraph 1, this Regulation shall apply only to base vehicles equipped at least with a chassis, engine, transmission, axles and tyres.’;

‘3 The simulation tool shall be used for the purposes of determining CO2 emissions and fuel consumption of new vehicles, or for the purposes of determining whether those vehicles are a ZE-HDVs, He-HDVs or dual-fuel vehicle. The simulation tool shall be designed to operate on the basis of input information as specified in Annex III, as well as input data referred to in Article 12(1).’;

‘5 The hashing tools shall be used for establishing an unequivocal association between the certified CO2 emission and fuel consumption related properties of a component, separate technical unit or system and its certification document, as well as for establishing an unequivocal association between a vehicle and its manufacturer's records file and customer information file as referred to in Annex IV.’;

‘1 A vehicle manufacturer shall determine the CO2 emissions and fuel consumption of each new vehicle, with the exception of ZE-HDVs, He-HDVs and dual-fuel vehicles, to be sold, registered or put into service in the Union using the latest available version of the simulation tool referred to in Article 5(3). With regard to ZE-HDVs, He-HDVs and dual-fuel vehicles to be sold, registered or put into service in the Union, the vehicle manufacturer shall determine only the information specified for those vehicles in the models set out in Part I and Part II of Annex IV using the latest available version of the simulation tool referred to in Article 5(3).’;

‘3 The vehicle manufacturer shall create cryptographic hashes of the manufacturer's records file and of the customer information file using the hashing tool referred to in Article 5(5).’;

‘5 Each vehicle to be registered, sold or to enter into service shall be accompanied by a certificate of conformity or, in the case of vehicles approved in accordance with Article 24 of Directive 2007/46/EC, an individual approval certificate, including an imprint of the cryptographic hash of the manufacturer's records file and of the customer information file referred to in paragraph 3.’;

‘6 In the case of ZE-HDVs, He-HDVs and dual-fuel vehicles, the simulation tool input data shall include the information set out in Table 5 of Annex III.

7 Where the vehicle is to be registered, sold or put into service with snow tyres and standard tyres, the vehicle manufacturer may choose which of the tyres to use for determining the CO2 emissions.’;

‘8 The standard value for tyres shall be the one for C3 snow tyres as set out in Table 2 of Part B of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council .

‘1 Where the approval authority finds, pursuant to Articles 20 and 22, that the measures taken by the manufacturer to ensure that the CO2 emissions and fuel consumption related properties of the components, separate technical units and systems listed in Article 12(1) and which have been the subject of certification in accordance with Article 17 do not deviate from the certified values are not adequate, the approval authority shall request the manufacturer to submit a plan of remedial measures no later than 30 calendar days after receipt of the request from the approval authority.’;

‘3 The second subparagraph of Article 20(1) and the second, third and fourth subparagraphs of Article 20(2) shall apply from 1 July 2020. Remedial measures under Articles 21(5) and 23(6) shall apply pursuant to an investigation into a vehicle failure in the verification testing procedure set out in Annex Xa as from 1 July 2023.’;

Annexes I, IV and IX to Directive 2007/46/EC are amended in accordance with Annex XI to this Regulation.

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. Article 2 shall apply as of 1 September 2019.
