Changes from report parliamentary committee draft to plenary report

AddedArticle 7 – paragraph 5: 5. Manufacturers shall issue an updated EVP after in-service conformity checks, mentioning updated values for the information mentioned in Article 3 (71) of this Regulation. In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/858 and Directive 2014/45/EU, manufacturers shall allow for competent authorities and testing centres to update the EVP with accurate data from the OBD port and the OBFCM device of the vehicle.

RemovedEuropean legislation already mandates the inclusion of vehicle environmental performance information and is included, for instance, in the Certification of Conformity (CoC). All necessary information is catalogued in the EU transparency list, according to Commission Regulation (EU) 2018/1832, so that for market surveillance testing that information is readily accessible.

AddedArticle 7 a (new): Article 7a / Specific provisions relating to vehicle tyre abrasion / Upon the publication of the relevant uniform provisions in the UN WP.29 the Commission shall adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 16 supplementing this Regulation by setting out the abrasion emission measurement methods and limits per tyre category for the purpose of type approval which shall refer to the uniform provisions and derogations to be established in UN WP.29 concerning the approval of tyres with regard to Tyre Abrasion emissions Type Approval. / In the event that uniform provisions have not been established in the UN WP.29 by 30 June 2026 for C1 tyres, and by 31 December 2035 for C2 and C3 tyres, the Commission shall conduct a review and, if appropriate, develop a method for the measurement of tyre abrasion and define abrasion limits for tyres based on other existing state-of-the-art methods. Following that review and if appropriate, the Commission shall adopt delegated acts by 30 October 2026 in accordance with Article 16 specifying such methods and setting out the abrasion emission limits per tyre category.

RemovedArticle 7 – paragraph 5: deleted

AddedArticle 8 – title: Special rules for small and ultra-small volume manufacturers

RemovedTo improve legal clarity, Articles 14-17 should incorporate all provisions related to secondary legislation.

AddedArticle 8 – paragraph 1: 1. As regards pollutant emissions, small and ultra-small volume manufacturers may substitute tests set out in tables 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 of Annex V with declarations of conformity. The compliance of vehicles constructed and put into the market by small volume manufacturers may be tested for in service conformity and market surveillance in accordance with tables 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 of Annex V. Conformity of production tests set out in Annex V shall not be required. Article 4(6) point (b) shall not apply to small and ultra-small volume manufacturers

RemovedArticle 7 a (new): Article 7a / Specific provisions relating to vehicle tyre abrasion / The classification and definitions of tyres for the purpose of type approval based on abrasion emissions shall align with the uniform provisions established in UN WP29 for the approval of tyres regarding tyre abrasion emissions type approval. These provisions should be incorporated into this Regulation via a delegated act in accordance with Article 16. Any derogation to these requirements should be established by the definitions pertaining to tyre abrasion requirements and be included in the delegated act that aligns this Regulation with the definitions established in UN WP29 and incorporated into this Regulation by means of delegated acts in accordance with Article 16.

AddedArticle 8 – paragraph 2: 2. Ultra-small volume manufacturers shall comply with the emission limits set out in Annex I in laboratory tests based on statistically relevant real-driving cycles for in-service conformity and market surveillance purposes.

RemovedArticle 8 – paragraph 1: 1. As regards pollutant emissions, small and ultra-small volume manufacturers may substitute tests set out in tables 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 of Annex V with declarations of conformity. The compliance of vehicles constructed and put into the market by small volume manufacturers may be tested for in service conformity and market surveillance in accordance with tables 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 of Annex V. Conformity of production tests set out in Annex V shall not be required. Article 4(6) point (b) shall not apply to small and ultra-small volume manufacturers.

AddedArticle 9 – title: Special rules for multistage vehicle type-approval

RemovedThere is a drafting error in the reference to "Article 4(4) point (b)," which should refer instead to "Article 4(6) point (b)." In addition, it is recommended that ultra-small volume manufacturers, in addition to small volume manufacturers, also be exempted from OBM requirements.

AddedArticle 9 – paragraph 1: 1. Specific provisions set out in Annex V —Tables 3, 4 and 5 shall apply to multistage vehicles.

RemovedArticle 8 – paragraph 2: 2. Ultra-small volume manufacturers shall comply with the emission limits set out in Annex I in laboratory tests based on real-driving cycles for in-service conformity and market surveillance purposes.

RemovedArticle 9 – paragraph 1: deleted

RemovedMulti-stage manufacturers have no control over pollutant emissions since it is the responsibility of the initial manufacturer who obtains the engine type approval to ensure that the engine system, including the exhaust after-treatment system, is properly installed and maintained. Moreover, the Euro VI method already conducts effective on-road testing for heavy-duty vehicles.

Article 9 – paragraph 2: deleted

Change 37

RemovedTo improve legal clarity, Articles 14-17 should incorporate all provisions related to secondary legislation.

Article 10 – paragraph 1: 1.

RemovedArticle 10 – paragraph 6: 6. With effect from 1 July 2035, national authorities shall, in the case of new M1, N1 vehicles constructed by small volume manufacturers and vehicles categorized following Regulation (EU) 2018/858, Part A, 5.2 as SB which do not comply with this Regulation consider certificates of conformity to be no longer valid for the purposes of registration and shall, on grounds relating to CO2 and pollutant emissions, fuel and electric energy consumption, energy efficiency or battery durability, prohibit the registration, sale or entry into service of such vehicles.

RemovedThe first amendment here provides consistency by aligning with the exemption given to small volume manufacturers in Regulation (EU) 2023/851. Furthermore, this proposal needs to account for armored vehicles, which are heavier due to their anti-bullet armor plating—these vehicles are important for protecting people and goods, and are already categorized as special purpose vehicles (Code SB) under Regulation (EU) 2018/858. As only a small number of these vehicles are registered each year, they should, along with small volume producers, be excluded from the scope of Euro 7 for a period of time to ensure compliance with the already demanding EU6/VI regulations. When the specified timeframe is over, these vehicles are fully expected to be ready for electrification.

RemovedArticle 10 – paragraph 7: 7. With effect from 1 July 2035, national authorities shall, in the case of new M2, M3, N2, N3 vehicles constructed by small volume manufacturers, which do not comply with this Regulation consider certificates of conformity to be no longer valid for the purposes of registration and shall, on grounds relating to CO2 and pollutant emissions, fuel and electric energy consumption, energy efficiency or battery durability, prohibit the registration, sale or entry into service of such vehicles.

With effect from 24 months after adoption of the delegated act on the approval of C1 tyres as regards abrasion emissions aligning with the limits established in UN WP29, national authorities shall refuse, to grant component/separate technical unit type approval in respect of new types of tyre that do not comply with this Regulation and its implementing and delegated acts. With effect from 36 months after adoption of the delegated act on the approval of C1 tyres as regards abrasion emissions aligning with those established in UN WP29, national authorities shall refuse to grant type approval or national EC type approval in respect of new C1 tyres which do not comply with this Regulation and its implementing and delegated acts. C1 tyres that were manufactured prior to the dates set out in this paragraph and which do not comply with the requirements of this Regulation may be sold for a period not exceeding 24 months from those dates. The UN will subsequently develop an appropriate test method and limits for tyre abrasion performance to be applied to C2 and C3 tyres, which shall be incorporated into this Regulation by means of delegated acts in accordance with Article 16.

AddedArticle 12 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 1 a (new): Tampering which results in emissions that exceed the limits laid out in Annex 1, shall result in the vehicle no longer being in compliance with this Regulation.

RemovedArticle 12 – paragraph 2: 2. National authorities shall, during in-service conformity or market surveillance checks, verify whether manufacturers of vehicles have correctly installed excess exhaust emissions driver warning systems, verify the quality of the reagent, low-reagent driver warning systems and whether vehicles can be tampered.

AddedArticle 12 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 1 b (new): Non-compliance resulting from tampering shall result in the adoption of appropriate corrective measures, including recalls, and effective, proportionate and dissuasive financial penalties by the national competent authorities.

RemovedThis legislation should make clear that excess emissions driver warning systems apply only to exhaust emissions. Moreover, ensuring the compliance of vehicles with the durability requirements for their systems and components is crucial, and the verification of the quality of the reagent plays a significant role in achieving this. Quality requirements for reagents are already established and can be found in standards such as ISO 22241.

AddedArticle 12 – paragraph 2: 2. National authorities shall, during in-service conformity or market surveillance checks, verify the quality of the reagent used, whether manufacturers of vehicles have correctly installed excess emissions driver warning systems, low-reagent driver warning systems, and whether vehicles can be tampered.
