Changes from report parliamentary committee draft to plenary report

AddedArticle 14 – paragraph 4 – subparagraph 1 – introductory part: The Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts for all phases of the emission type-approval, including in-service conformity, conformity of production and market surveillance, to lay down the following:

RemovedArticle 14 – paragraph 4 – subparagraph 1 – introductory part: For a period of 18 months following the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union and after a comprehensive consultation process, the Commission shall be empowered to adopt implementing acts for all phases of the emission type-approval, including in-service conformity, conformity of production and market surveillance, to lay down the following:

AddedArticle 14 – paragraph 4 – subparagraph 1 – point b a (new): (ba) methods for the type-approval of applicable hybrid technologies of category M2, M3, N2 and N3 vehicles;

RemovedTo ensure that the objectives of this Regulation are achieved, it is crucial to establish a deadline by which the Commission must propose all necessary implementing and delegated acts to ensure legal and investor certainty. This deadline should then be linked to the lead time required for implementation. The rules, procedures, and modalities outlined in secondary legislation play a critical role in achieving the goals of this Regulation, making it essential to establish a firm timeline for their proposal and adoption.

AddedArticle 14 – paragraph 4 – subparagraph 1 – point g: (g) the methods to measure brake particle emissions including methods for M2, M3, N2 and N3 vehicles, real driving brake particle emissions and regenerative braking;

RemovedArticle 14 – paragraph 4 – subparagraph 1 – point a: (a) with regard to vehicles under the scope of Regulation (EC) 715/2007, the methods to measure exhaust emissions in the lab and during Real Driving Emissions (RDE) on the road, including safeguards to detect and prevent biased driving or misuse during RDE testing, the use of portable emissions measurement systems for verifying real driving emissions and, for M1, N1 vehicle types, idle emissions;

RemovedIt is important to clarify that this particular point applies only to light-duty vehicles. Additionally, the use of random or worst-case driving scenarios is not proportional, and Real Driving Emissions (RDE) testing should be limited to statistically significant driving events. This is essential for protecting against any instances of biased driving or misuse.

AddedArticle 14 – paragraph 4 – subparagraph 1 – point l: (l) the methods and requirements to assess the correct operation, effectiveness, regeneration and durability of original and replacement pollution control systems and the quality of the reagents;

AddedArticle 14 – paragraph 4 – subparagraph 1 – point s: (s) methods for establishing the absence of defeat devices and defeat strategies and to carry-over into this Regulation requirements laid down in Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and Article 5(11) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 applicable to category M1 and N1 vehicles, and in UNECE Regulation No. 49, Revision 6, Annex 10, paragraph 5.1.2 applicable to category M2, M3, N2 and N3 vehicles;

RemovedIt is essential to establish a baseline for brake wear emissions by completing the brake wear test method and evaluating its accuracy among different laboratories before setting a limit on brake wear emissions. This will ensure that the limit is based on reliable and accurate data.

RemovedArticle 14 – paragraph 4 – subparagraph 1 – point h: (h) the methods to measure tyre abrasion in order to monitor tyre abrasion rates as specified by the common GRBP/GRPE Task Force on Tyre Abrasion conducted under the auspices of the UN WP29;

RemovedArticle 14 – paragraph 4 – subparagraph 1 – point j: (j) OBFCM device, OBD and OBM systems, including, optionally, over the air communication of data recorded by these devices and systems;

RemovedArticle 14 – paragraph 4 – subparagraph 1 – point l: (l) the methods and requirements to assess the correct quality, operation, effectiveness, regeneration and durability of original and replacement pollution control systems, including reagents;
