REPORT on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on type-approval of motor vehicles and engines and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles, with respect to their emissions and battery durability (Euro 7) and repealing Regulations (EC) No 715/2007 and (EC) No 595/2009

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(-1) Decision (EU) 2022/591 of the European Parliament and of the Council1 on a General Union Environment Action Programme to 2030 lays down as one of the Union’s six thematic objectives for the period up to 31 December 2030 the pursuit of zero pollution, including in relation to harmful chemicals, in order to achieve a toxic-free environment, including for air, water and soil, as well as in relation to light and noise pollution, and protecting the health and well-being of people, animals and ecosystems from environment-related risks and negative impacts.

1 Decision (EU) 2022/591 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 April 2022 on a General Union Environment Action Programme to 2030 (OJ L 114, 12.4.2022, p. 22).

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(-1a) The European Green Deal1a is the Union’s proposal to initiate a transition aiming to achieve, by 2050 at the latest, a climate-neutral, clean and circular economy, optimising resource management, minimising pollution while recognising the need for deeply transformative policies. The Union is also committed to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development1b and its Sustainable Development Goals1c. The Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy adopted in December 20201d and the Zero Pollution Action Plan1e adopted in May 2021 specifically address transport pollution aspects of the European Green Deal. Other particularly relevant policies for this initiative include, for example, the Ambient Air Quality Directive (AAQD)1f, the New Industrial Strategy for Europe1g, CO2 emission standards for cars and vans1h and CO2 emissions targets for new heavy-duty vehicles1i.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(2a) A successful transition to zero-emission mobility requires an integrated approach and the right enabling environment to stimulate innovation and maintain the Union's technological leadership in this sector. This includes public and private investments in research and innovation, the increasing supply of zero- and low-emission vehicles, the roll-out of recharging and refuelling infrastructure, integration into the energy systems, as well as the sustainable materials supply and sustainable production, re-use and recycling of batteries in Europe. It requires coherent action at Union, national, regional and local levels.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(2b) In order to support the transition towards clean mobility while reindustrialising Europe and supporting citizens, it is essential to keep the prices of private and commercial vehicles affordable for citizens and businesses. This will help maintain quality of life, industrial competitiveness and innovation, support job creation and skill development in the sector.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(2c) A socially acceptable and just transition towards zero-emission mobility should be ensured. It is important, therefore, to take into account the social effects of such transition throughout the whole automotive value chain and to address proactively the implications on employment. Targeted programmes at Union, national and regional levels, such as the development of just transition plans for automotive dependent regions are to be developed in the framework of the Just Transition Mechanism for the re-skilling, up-skilling and redeployment of workers, as well as education and job-seeking initiatives in adversely affected communities and regions, in close dialogue with the social partners and competent authorities. As part of that transition, women's employment, as well as equal opportunities in this sector, should be strengthened.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(4) The technical requirements for the type-approval of motor vehicles, engines and replacement parts with regard to emissions (‘emission type-approval’) are currently set out in two Regulations that apply to emission type-approval for light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles respectively, i.e. Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council (‘Euro 6’)44 and Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (‘Euro VI’)45 . The reason for having two Regulations was that the emissions of heavy-duty vehicles were checked based on engine testing, while for light-duty vehicles the basis was whole vehicle testing. Since then, methodologies have been developed that allow testing of both light- and heavy-duty vehicles on the road. It is therefore no longer necessary to base type-approval on engine testing.

Amendment

(5) Incorporating the requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 into a single Regulation should ensure internal coherence of the system of emission type-approvals for both light and heavy-duty vehicles, while allowing for different emission limits for such vehicles.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(7) It is also necessary to reduce complexity, administrative and implementation costs for manufacturers and authorities and to ensure effective and efficient implementation of the Euro emission standards. Simplification is achieved by eliminating different application dates for the limits and tests which existed under Euro 6 and Euro VI, by eliminating multiple and complex emission tests where such tests are not needed, by referring to standards under existing UN Regulations where applicable, and by ensuring a streamlined and consistent set of procedures and tests for the various phases of the emission type-approval.

(8) In order to ensure that the emissions for both light and heavy duty vehicles are limited in real life, testing vehicles in real conditions of use with a minimum set of restrictions, boundaries and other driving requirements and not only in the laboratory is required.

(8) In order to ensure that the emissions for both light and heavy duty vehicles are limited in real life, testing vehicles in real conditions of use which are statistically relevant, with a minimum set of restrictions, boundaries and other driving requirements is required. This on-road testing should be based on normal driving and exclude biased driving.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(10) Regulations (EC) No 715/2007 and (EC) No 595/2009 require that vehicles respect the emission limits for a specified period of time, which does not correspond anymore to the average lifetime of vehicles. It is therefore appropriate to lay down durability requirements that reflect the average expected lifetime of vehicles in the Union.

It is therefore appropriate to lay down durability requirements that reflect the expected lifetime of vehicles1a and their standard usage across the Union in light of differences between Member States. This is of particular importance to buyers of second hand vehicles who expect the vehicle to emit as much as it did when it was first placed on the market.

Amendment

(10a) Member States are encouraged to develop and implement strategies for incentivising fleet renewal, with the aim of facilitating a progressive transition of the European fleet towards vehicles with reduced emissions, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable transport ecosystem.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(11) There are now technologies available and used widely worldwide that limit evaporative emissions of volatile organic compounds during the use, parking and refuelling of a vehicle with petrol fuel. It is therefore appropriate to set the emission limits for such volatile organic compounds at a lower level and introduce emission limits for the refuelling phase.

(11) There are now technologies available and used widely worldwide that limit evaporative emissions of volatile organic compounds during the use, parking and refuelling of a vehicle with petrol fuel. As these technologies are already proven and cost-effectively implemented in other markets and regions, it is therefore appropriate for the Union to align with other markets by setting the emission limits for such volatile organic compounds at a lower level and to introduce emission limits for the refuelling phase.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(11a) For the control of refuelling emissions, on-board refuelling vapour recovery has been implemented in other markets and regions for more than 15 years with a demonstrated vapour control efficiency. On-board refuelling vapour recovery requires no annual maintenance or inspections to maintain a higher level of refuelling vapour control efficiency while remaining compatible with the current Stage II petrol stations.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(12) Non-exhaust emissions consist of particles emitted by tyres and brakes of vehicles. Emissions from tyres is estimated to be the largest source of microplastics to the environment. As shown in the Impact Assessment, it is expected that by 2050, non-exhaust emissions will constitute up to 90% of all particles emitted by road transport, because exhaust particles will diminish due to vehicle electrification. Those non-exhaust emissions should therefore be measured and limited. The Commission should prepare a report on tyre abrasion by the end of 2024 to review the measurement methods and state-of-the-art in order to propose tyre abrasion limits.

Those non-exhaust emissions should therefore be measured and limited. The Commission should conduct a review before the end of 2025 for the measurement of tyre abrasion and define abrasion limits based on state-of-the-art methods in the event that uniform provisions have not been established which refer to the work on tyre abrasion done at UN WP.29 by mid-2026. The Commission should ensure that the UN WP.29 achieves its objectives in a timely manner, reflecting a high level of ambition based on solid scientific and technical grounds. The review should be accompanied by a legislative proposal for vehicles with traction batteries, including plugin hybrids and battery electric vehicles, to adopt tyre abrasion limits compatible with the Union’s objective to reduce microplastics released into the environment by 30% by 2030 and based on state-of-the-art abrasion rates.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(14) Vehicles with traction batteries, including plugin hybrids and battery electric vehicles, contribute to the decarbonisation of the road transport sector. In order to gain and increase consumer trust in such vehicles, they should be performant and durable. It is therefore important to require that traction batteries retain a good part of their initial capacity after many years of use. That is of particular importance to buyers of second hand electric vehicles to ensure that the vehicle will continue to perform as expected. Monitors of the battery state-of-health should therefore be required for all vehicles that use traction batteries. In addition minimum performance requirements for battery durability of passenger cars should be introduced, taking into account the UN Global Technical Regulation 2247 .

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(14a) OBM, OBFCM or SOH devices use data generated by the vehicle to monitor its compliance with this Regulation. That same data should be shared according to the Data Act to the vehicle users and their service providers so that the vehicle users can benefit from advice and recommendations on how to limit the vehicle’s emissions, its energy consumption and extend its battery-life through improved use of the vehicle.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(15) Tampering of vehicles to remove or deactivate parts of the pollution control systems is a well-known problem. Such practice leads to uncontrolled emissions and should be prevented. Tampering of the odometer, leads to false mileage and hampers the proper in-service control of a vehicle. It is therefore of the utmost importance to guarantee the highest possible security protection of those systems, complete with security certificates and appropriate anti-tampering protection to ensure that neither pollution control systems nor the vehicle odometer can be tampered with.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(15a) To prevent anti-tampering measures from unduly hampering competition, this Regulation and its secondary Legislation should maintain the possibility of independent operators to develop, distribute, install and activate aftermarket replacement parts. Therefore, manufacturers should ensure access by independent operators to the strictly necessary information, tools and processes for development and installation of such replacement parts.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(16) Sensors installed on vehicles are already used today to detect anomalies on emissions and trigger related repairs through the on-board diagnostic (OBD) system. The OBD system currently in use, however, does not detect accurately or timely the malfunctions and neither does it sufficiently and timely force repairs. As a result, it is possible that vehicles emit much more than they are allowed to do. The sensors used up to now for OBD can also be used to monitor and control the emission behaviour of the vehicles on a continuous basis via an on-board monitoring (OBM) system. The OBM will also warn the user to perform repairs of the engine or the pollution control systems when these are needed. It is therefore appropriate to require that such a system is installed and to regulate its technical requirements.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(17) Manufacturers may opt to produce vehicles which comply with lower emission limits or with better battery durability than what is required in this Regulation, or which include advanced options including geofencing and adaptive controls. Consumers and national authorities should be able to identify such vehicles through appropriate documentation. An environmental vehicle passport (EVP) should therefore be made available.

(17)  An up-to-date environmental vehicle passport (EVP) should be made available for consumers to receive up to date information throughout the lifetime of the vehicle such as fuel consumption, state of health of batteries, emission limits, periodic technical inspections results and roadworthiness data and other relevant information.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(18) In case the Commission makes a proposal for registering after 2035 new light-duty vehicles running exclusively on CO2 neutral fuels outside the scope of the CO2 fleet standards, and in conformity with Union law and the Union’s climate neutrality objective, this Regulation will need to be amended to include the possibility to type approve such vehicles.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(19) Emissions from vehicles sold by small volume manufacturers constitute an insignificant part of emissions in the Union. Some flexibility may therefore be allowed in some of the requirements for such manufacturers. Small volume manufacturers should therefore be able to substitute certain tests during type-approval with declarations of compliance, while ultra-small volume manufacturers should be allowed to use laboratory tests based on random real-driving cycles.

Amendment

(20a) Whilst the term ‘State of Health’ (SOH) is commonly applied to refer to the health of a battery at a given point in its life, this term is not commonly defined and is determined through a variety of different methodologies: the ‘State of Certified Energy’ (SOCE) and the ‘State of Certified Range’ (SOCR). Both metrics represent a percentage of the certified battery energy or electric range remaining at a given point in time.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(21) In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of this Regulation, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission in relation to obligations of manufacturers as part of type-approval and procedures, test and methodologies to be applied for declaration of conformity, conformity of production check, in-service conformity-check and environmental vehicle passport (EVP); options and designations of vehicles; requirements, tests, methods and corrective measures related to durability of vehicles, systems, components and separate technical units, as well as registration and communication capabilities of OBM systems, including for the purpose of periodic technical inspections and roadworthiness checks; requirements and information to be provided by manufacturers of multistage vehicles as well as procedures to determine the CO2 value for these multistage vehicles; technical elements, administrative and documentation requirements for emission type-approval, checks and inspections and market surveillance checks, as well as reporting obligations, in-service conformity and conformity of production checks; methods and tests to (i) measure exhaust emissions in the lab and on the road, including random and worst-case RDE test cycles, the use of portable emissions measurement systems for verifying real driving emissions, and idle emissions, (ii) determine the CO2 emissions, fuel and energy consumption, the electric range and engine power of a motor vehicle, (iii) provide specifications for gear shift indicator (GSI) (iv) determine the impact of O3, O4 trailers on the CO2 , fuel and energy consumption, electric range and engine power of a motor vehicle, (iv) measure crankcase emissions, evaporative emissions, brake emissions, (v) evaluate compliance with minimum performance requirements of battery durability, (vi) assess the in-service conformity of engines and vehicles; compliance thresholds and performance requirements, as well as (vii) test and methods to ensure performance of sensors (OBD and OBM); (viii) methods to ensure and assess security measures; specification and characteristics of driver warning systems and inducement methods and to assess their correct operation; (ix) methods to assess the correct operation, effectiveness, regeneration and durability of original and replacement pollution control systems; (x) methods to ensure and assess security measures including vulnerability analysis and tampering protection; (xi) methods to assess the correct functioning of types approved under specific EURO7 designations; (xii) criteria for emission type-approvals for small and ultra-small volume manufacturers; (xiii) checks and test procedures for multistage vehicles; (xiv) performance requirements for test equipment; (xv) specification of reference fuels; and (xvi) methods for assessing the absence of defeat devices and defeat strategies; (xvii) to measure tyre abrasion, as well as (xviii) EVP format, data and method of communication of the EVP data. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council50 .

Amendment

(22a) The Union is a signatory to the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Agreement established on March 20, 1958. That agreement pertains to the standardisation of technical specifications for wheeled vehicles, their associated equipment, and components that can be installed on or used with wheeled vehicles. Additionally, it lays down the conditions for mutual recognition of approvals granted based on these specifications. The requirements laid down in this Regulation should, where appropriate, align with the standards laid out in the UNECE Regulations or any subsequent amendments to this Regulation, where available, particularly in relation to limits on brake particle emissions, limits on tyre types regarding abrasion, and the establishment of minimum performance criteria for batteries.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(25) It is important to grant Member States, national type-approval authorities and economic operators enough time to prepare for the application of the new rules introduced by this Regulation. The date of application should therefore be deferred. While for light duty vehicles the date of application should be as soon as technically possible, for heavy duty vehicles and trailers the date of application may be further delayed by two years, since the transition to zero-emission vehicles will be longer for heavy duty vehicles.
