2007/46/EC and repealing  Directives 80/1269/EEC, 2005/55/EC and 2005/78/EC2, and in 
particular Article 4(3) and Article 5(4)(e) 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

Whereas:  
(1) Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 is one of the separate re gulatory acts under the type -
approval procedure laid down by Directive 2007/46/EC.  
(2) Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 requires that the Commission adopts measures to certify 
CO 2 emissions and fuel consumption of heavy duty vehicles. Therefore, the present 
Regulation aims at setting certification requirements for obtaining accurate 
information about new heavy -duty vehicles placed on EU market.  
(3) Article 11 of the Directive 2007/46/EC allows for the performance of virtual testing 
instead of physical tests. In a ddition, it sets out the necessary requirements for the

1 REGULATION (EC) No 595/2009 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL  
of 18 June 2009 on type -approval of motor vehicles and engines with respect to emissions from heavy 
duty vehicles (Euro VI) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information and amending 
Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and Directive 2007/46/EC and repealin g Directives 80/1269/EEC, 
2005/55/EC and 2005/78/EC (OJ L 188, 18.7.2009, p. 1)  
2 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 (OJ L 263, 9.10.2007, p. 1)   
EN 3   EN vehicle repair and maintenance information, as well as, for the approval of vehicles 
with regard to emissions and access to vehicle repair and maintenance information. A 
license to perform simulations to establish CO 2 emissions and fuel consumption of a 
vehicle will be required to obtain metioned above approvals.  
(5) Emissions from lorries, buses and coaches currently represent around 25% of road 
transport CO 2 emissions and are set to increase b y 2030. In order to reach the target of 
60% reduction of CO 2 emissions from transport by 2050, effective measures to curb 
emissions from heavy -duty sector need to be introduced.  
(6) (6)  Until now, there has been no regulatory procedure to measure CO 2 emission s 
and fuel consumption from heavy -duty vehicles, rendering it impossible to introduce 
additional measures be it on the European or national level that would encourage the 
introduction of more energy efficient vehicles. In addition, the transparency of the 
market has been hindered thus reducing the possibility for consumers to choose 
vehicles best suited for their needs.  
(7) The heavy -duty sector is very diversified, with a significant number of different 
vehicle types and models as well as with a high degree of  customisation. After 
perfoming an in -depth analysis of available options, the Comission concluded that the 
most cost efficient sollution to assess CO 2 emissions and fuel consumption of heavy -
duty vehicles would be by means of a simulation tool. This would  permit obtaining 
unique data for each produced vehicle at the lowest cost.  
(8) (8)  Since there was no software available on the market to meet the legislator 
requirements for the purpose of the assessment of CO 2 emissions and fuel 
consumption of heavy -duty v ehicles, the Commission developed dedicated software 
which could be used for the regulatory purpose.  
(9) That software consists of a simulation tool , which is a publically available, open 
source, downloadable and executable software , which can be used to calcu late CO 2 
emissions and fuel consumption of heavy duty vehicles. The tool uses input data of the 
components, separate technical units and systems which have a significant impact on 
the CO 2 emissions and fuel consumption of vehicles – engine, gearbox and add itional 
driveline components, axles, tyres, aerodynamics and auxiliaries.  
(10) In order to enable a realistic assessment, the software has been equipped with a 
number of functionalities: test cycles specific for different vehicles classes, options to 
simulate v ehicles with different payloads and fuels.  
(11) In order to allow deriving CO 2 emissions and fuel consumption emission related 
properties for the components, separate technical units and systems having an impact 
on the performance of heavy -duty vehicles, provis ions for the certification of such 
properties should be set out.  
(12) In parallel to the certification provisions, 'standard values' for several components, 
separate technical units and systems which can be used instead of deriving the CO 2 
and fuel consumption related properties by means of testing should also be set out. 
This is a viable alternative for companies manufacturing parts in small numbers in 
order to optimise costs related to testing. Standard values are set out in a conservative 
way so as to encoura ge component manufacturers to apply for certification.  
(13) The CO 2 emissions and fuel consumption related properties of the components, 
separate technical units and systems should be used as input data for the simulation 
tool in order to simulate vehicle perfo rmance. The simulations should be performed by 
vehicle manufacturers at the moment of production of a vehicle.   
EN 4   EN (14) Provisions should also be put in place for the license of the vehicle manufacturers' 
processes for calculation of the CO 2 emissions and fuel con sumption of vehicles. The 
process of handling and application of data by the vehicle manufacturers should be 
certified and closely monitored by the approval authorities in order to ensure that the 
simulations are conducted in a correct manner. In addition,  a number of simulations 
should be repeated by the approval authorities in order to verify the correct use of the 
data and simulation tool.  
(15) In order to ensure that the results declared by the suppliers of parts and vehicle 
manufacturers are correct, provi sions for conformity of simulation tool operation as 
well as of CO2 emissions and fuel consumption related properties of all the 
components, separate technical units and systems should be set out.  
(16) Recognizing the importance of the proper functioning of th e simulation tool for a 
correct assessment of vehicles emissions, the Commission should maintain and update 
the software when necessary.  
(17) In order to ensure sufficient lead time for the national authorities and the industry, the 
certification obligations sh ould be implemented gradually starting with the vehicles 
which are the biggest contributors to CO 2 emissions of the heavy -duty sector.  
(18) Directive 2007/46/EC and Commission Regulation (EU) 582/2011 should therefore be 
amended accordingly.  
(19) The measures provid ed for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the 
Technical Committee Motor Vehicles,  
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
