COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2020/1590

of 19 August 2020

amending Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council in order to take into account the evolution of the mass of new light commercial vehicles registered in 2016, 2017 and 2018

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2019 setting CO2 emission performance standards for new passenger cars and for new light commercial vehicles and repealing Regulations (EC) No 443/2009 and (EU) No 510/2011 (1), and in particular Article 14(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) The EU fleet-wide average mass in running order used for the purpose of calculating the specific emission targets of CO2 for each manufacturer of new light commercial vehicles, i.e. the M0 value, is to be adjusted regularly to take into account changes in the average mass of the new light commercial vehicles registered in the Union.

(2) Based on the data in Commission Implementing Decisions (EU) 2018/143 (2), (EU) 2019/582 (3) and (EU) 2020/1035 (4), the average mass in running order of new light commercial vehicles in the calendar years 2016, 2017 and 2018, weighted according to the number of new registrations in each of those years, was 1 825,23 kg. The M0 value for the calendar years 2021, 2022 and 2023, referred to in point 4 of Part B of Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2019/631 should therefore reflect that mass.

(3) Regulation (EU) 2019/631 should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1 In point 4 of Part B of Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2019/631 the entry M0 is replaced by the following: ‘M0 is 1 766,4 in 2020, 1 825,23 for the years 2021, 2022 and 2023, and for 2024 the value adopted pursuant to point (b) of Article 14(1)’.

Article 2 This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. Done at Brussels, 19 August 2020. For the Commission The President Ursula VON DER LEYEN
