EXPLANATORY NOTE  
(This note is not part of the Regulations. ) 
These Regulations amend  both the  Passenger Car (Fuel Consumption and CO2 Emissions 
Information) Regulations 2001 (“the 2001 Regulations”) and the Road Vehicles (Approval) 
Regulations 2009  (“the 2009 Regulations” ) in order to deal with amendments to the European Union 
legislation which they implement.  
The amendments  to the 2001 Regulations , which are dealt with in Part 2 of the se Regulations, reflect 
the change of the basis of the t est to be used for measuring fuel economy from the New European  
Drive Cycle (NEDC) to the World Harmonised Test Proceure (WLTP)  in accordance with Commision 
Regulation (EC) No. 1171/2017 of 1st June 2017.  This in turn require s changes to the published 
material  concering the vehicles produced by motor car manufacturers.  
Accordingly,  Regulation 4 of the se Regulations amends the definition of “official fuel consumption”  
to refer to Commission Reg ulation (EC) No. 1171/2017  and Regulation 5 substitutes the new format 
for the Fuel Economy Label prescribed by Schedule  1 to 2001 Regulations.  
The amendments to the 2009  Regulations , which are set out in Parts 3 to 6 of  these Regulations , 
update the prin cipal Regulations  to incorporate a number of developments  in the EU legis lation into 
the provisions concerning National Small Series and Individual  Approval and End of Series Vehicles , 
in particular amendments to Regulations (EU) 715/2007 (light duty emis sions), 595/2009 (heavy duty 
emissions), 661/2009 (general safety regulation) and 79/2009 (hydrogen safety) and their implementing 
acts, into the provisions concering [national small series type approval, individual approval and end -of-
series vehicles .  
Part 3 amends Part 1 of the 2009 Regulations ( prelimi nary). In particular , regulation 6  amends t he 
definition of the Framework Directive (Directive 2007/46/EC)  to cover both future amendments to  it 
and additional amendments  already made  and regulation 8   updates the list of EU instruments  
specified in Schedu le 2 (interpretation of “regulatory acts ”). 
Part 4  amends Part 4 of 2009 Regulations (national small series type appro val and individual 
approval ). In particular:  
regulation 9  amends regulation 25 (grant  of national small series type approval) to permit the approval 
authority when making a decision over the grant of approval to waive specified requirements of the [Type here]  
 
 14 Framework Directive and to amend the  maximum permitted number of  vehicles that may be given 
small series approval in any year ; 
Regulation s 10 to 13 amend  Schedu le 4 (technical and administrative requirements  for gra nt of 
approval) ,  regulations 10 and 11  amending s ections 1 and 2 of Part 2 (requirements for M1 categoary 
vehicles), regulation 12  amending section 1 of  Part 3 (requirements for N1 category vehicles) and 
regulation 13  amending Part 4 (requirements for catego ry M2, M3, N2,N3,and O vehicles;  and 
regulation 14  amends Schedule 5 (technical and administrative requirements for the grant of  individual 
vehicle approval) . The more significant changes introduced by these provisions concern the 
introduction of requirements for Euro VI vehicles (those tested to heavy duty rules)  (regulations 9 to 
13), a new (WLTP) test for measuring emissions fro m light duty vehicles (regulations 9, 11 and 13)   
requirements for the compulory fitting of advanced emergency braking and lane departure warning 
systems (regulations 12 and 13) and new reqirements for mirrors (regulations 12 and 13).  
In Part 5 , regulatio ns 15 and 16  amend Part 5 (validity  of approvals and end -of-series veh icles)  of the 
2009  Regulations . Regulation 15 extends the application of the regulation 31 of 2009 Regulations to 
enable the UK approval authority to issue end -of-series derogations covering sale in the UK of  
vehicles type approved by any EU approval authority, not just by the UK authority ; and regulation 16  
extends the methodologies the Approval Authority may use to calculate the number of vehicles  
eligible for and end-of-series deroga tion to include a percentage rule.  
In Part 6 (Miscellaneous) regulation 17 reclassifies “dupli cate certicates”as “replacement certificates”.  
The net costs imposed on business, the voluntary secctor and the public sector by these Regulations 
have been ass essed as being less than £5m in any year and therefore a full impact assessment has not 
been pr epared, and a Review provision has not been included. ]
