COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2017/1154
of 7 June 2017
amending Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 supplementing Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council on type-approval of motor vehicles with respect to emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 5 and Euro 6) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information, amending Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, Commission Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 and Commission Regulation (EU) No 1230/2012 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 and Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards real-driving emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 6)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2007 on type approval of motor vehicles with respect to emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 5 and Euro 6) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information (1), and in particular Article 14(3) thereof,
Having regard to Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 September 2007 establishing a framework for the approval of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles (Framework Directive) (2), and in particular Article 39(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 is a separate regulatory act under the type-approval procedure laid down by Directive 2007/46/EC. |
(2) |
Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 requires new light passenger and commercial vehicles to comply with certain emission limits and lays down additional requirements on access to information. The specific technical provisions necessary to implement that Regulation are contained in Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 (3). |
(3) |
The Commission has performed a detailed analysis of the procedures, tests and requirements for type approval that are set out in Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 on the basis of own research and external information and found that emissions of Euro 5/6 vehicles generated by real driving on the road substantially exceed the emissions measured on the regulatory New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), in particular with respect to NOx emissions of diesel vehicles. |
(4) |
The type-approval emission requirements for motor vehicles have been gradually and significantly tightened through the introduction and subsequent revision of Euro standards. While vehicles in general have delivered substantial emission reductions across the range of regulated pollutants, this was not the case for NOx emissions from light passenger and commercial diesel vehicles. Actions for correcting this situation are therefore needed. |
(5) |
Defeat devices which reduce the level of emission control are prohibited by Regulation (EC) No 715/2007. The revelation related to the use of defeat devices in diesel vehicles and the subsequent national investigations have highlighted the need to strengthen the enforcement of the rules on defeat devices. Therefore it is appropriate to require a better supervision at type approval of the emissions control strategy applied by vehicles, building upon the principles already applied to heavy duty vehicles by Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) and its implementing measures. |
(6) |
It is important to address the problem of NOx emissions from diesel vehicles in order to contribute to decreasing the current high levels of NO2 concentrations in ambient air, which are a major concern regarding human... |
