            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2025/2161
of 27 October 2025
         
implementing Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the technical requirements of on-board devices for the monitoring and recording of fuel and energy consumption and mileage of certain heavy-duty vehicles, and for determining and recording the payload or total weight thereof
(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 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 amending Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and Directive 2007/46/EC and repealing Directives 80/1269/EEC, 2005/55/EC and 2005/78/EC (1), and in particular Article 5c, point (b), thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


In accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/2400 (2), the CO2 emissions and fuel consumption of whole heavy-duty vehicles are to be simulated using a methodology based on the VECTO tool (‘regulatory VECTO procedure’). The CO2 emissions so determined form the basis for assessing manufacturers’ compliance with their annual specific CO2 emissions targets as set out in Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). The effectiveness of those CO2 emissions targets is strongly dependent on the real-world representativeness of the CO2 emissions and electric energy consumption values determined by the VECTO tool, which is to be monitored and assessed by using data from on-board fuel and electric energy consumption monitoring (OBFCM) devices in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2019/1242.












(2)


For that purpose, the information recorded by OBFCM devices should cover the parameters required to accurately determine the representativeness of the regulatory VECTO procedure. That procedure takes into consideration the mission profile, loads, fuel type, and total vehicle mass, and expresses the emissions in grams of CO2 per tonne kilometre to reflect the utility of the heavy-duty vehicles and grams of CO2 per passenger kilometre for interurban buses and coaches. In order to enable this approach, the OBFCM device should record both the overall lifetime fuel and electric energy consumption and lifetime distance driven. It should also record the fuel and electric energy consumption and distance in relation to the vehicle speed and total mass by accumulating these over periodic intervals of vehicle operation. For interurban buses and coaches, to assess the representativeness of the procedure, the comparison should take into consideration the underlying loads and total vehicle mass used in the procedure.












(3)


The quantity of fuel and electric energy used already being determined, and the relevant data already being stored on board of most new vehicles, but the devices presently used to monitor this information not being subject to standardised requirements, basic type-approval requirements with regard to those devices should be laid down to ensure that the data provided by them are accessible and may serve as a harmonised basis for a comparison between the VECTO simulated fuel consumption and emissions and the real-world values determined by the OBFCM device.












(4)


The total mass of vehicles and of their combinations should be determined by an on-board mass monitoring system, as part of the OBFCM device. To allow manufacturers to make use of existing systems and sensors where possible, offering lower costs and robustness, while providing for high accuracy, it is appropriate to allow for the total mass to be determined using indirect methods.












(5)


To assess the mission profiles and payload conditions during the lifetime of the vehicles, thereby reflecting the utility of the heavy-duty vehicles on the road and allowing for a comparison to the simulated conditions, over the lifetime of the vehicle the fuel and electric energy consumption and distance values accumulated over determined intervals should be stored at the end of each interval on the relevant control unit in a format where the parameters are indexed by the average total vehicle mass and the average speed determined for that interval. While the accumulated fuel and electric energy consumption and distance values should be reset at the end of each interval to ensure that only the accumulated values during a single interval are considered, the speed and total mass may be informed by the previous interval as these values are used for indexing the accumulated parameters.












(6)


To support the assessment of the regulatory VECTO procedure by providing a better indication of the real-world driving profiles of vehicles on the road, vehicles which are not required to have an on-board mass monitoring system should also record the fuel consumption and distance driven accumulated over intervals of vehicle operation and store this data based only on the average speed determined during that interval.












(7)


As the OBFCM device uses engine parameters to determine the relevant OBFCM parameters, compliance with OBFCM device requirements should be part of the emissions approval under Commission Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 (4). To minimise the additional testing burden and thereby simplify the approval procedure, manufacturers should be able to meet compliance requirements by providing a declaration of the compliance to the requirements set out in this Regulation regarding the functionality and accuracy of the OBFCM device.












(8)


To ensure that the data provided by the OBFCM devices remain accurate during the use of the vehicles, while minimizing the additional testing burden, the accuracy of those devices should be monitored whenever fuel consumption is being recorded during existing regulatory testing procedures. These testing procedures should include engine testing procedures where the fuel map is being evaluated, as specified in Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2017/2400, and on-road testing procedures where the fuel and electric energy consumption, total distance and mass monitoring accuracies can be monitored, as specified in the emissions approval and in-service conformity procedures under Regulation (EU) No 582/2011, the verification testing procedure under Regulation (EU) 2017/2400 and portable emissions measurement system tests under UN Regulation No 49 (5).












(9)


The responsible authority for checking the results regarding the fuel consumption, total distance and total mass during monitoring tests should be the authority that granted the emissions approval, which should receive the necessary data to check the results from the authority or manufacturer performing this test. A recorded OBFCM parameter not falling between the lower and upper accuracy limits during a regulatory test procedure should not influence the outcome of the regulatory testing procedure.












(10)


In the case that the granting authority determines that the recorded OBFCM parameter does not fall between the lower and upper accuracy limits during a test procedure, a statistical test should be performed to verify the accuracy of the fuel consumption and distance travelled, or mass monitoring and determine compliance. The boundary conditions for this statistical test should be similar to the existing verification testing procedure conditions with simplified recording requirements, and with hilly and dynamic conditions to verify the OBMM system operation based on indirect methods, as the trip requirements for this procedure use representative speed distributions for different driving groups, and allow for existing routes and infrastructure to be used by vehicle manufacturers and independent accredited laboratories.












(11)


To simplify the compliance with accuracy requirements and thereby reduce the development burden for manufacturers, for certain fuel types and testing procedures initially only a surveillance of accuracy applies. Where there is a surveillance of accuracy, the accuracy requirements for the declaration of compliance should not apply, and a statistical verification procedure should not be performed when the recorded parameter does not fall between the lower and upper accuracy limits during a test procedure. Even so, the manufacturer should provide the most accurate values that can be achieved by the measurement and calculation system of the vehicle control units.












(12)


The Commission should assess the results of the monitoring tests and evaluate the accuracy requirements for vehicles where a surveillance of accuracy applies. To this extent, the granting approval authorities should provide the results of the monitoring tests in a standardised format upon request of the Commission.












(13)


As the declaration of compliance of the OBFCM device requirements is a condition for the extension of the emissions approval under Regulation (EU) No 582/2011, the authority responsible for the emissions approval should be responsible for assessing the results of the monitoring tests and should evaluate the accuracy of the OBFCM based on a statistical testing procedure, where necessary. This requires close cooperation between manufacturers, authorities performing monitoring tests and the authority granting the emissions approval.












(14)


As there is no separate initial type-approval testing for the OBFCM device, and the declaration of compliance of the OBFCM device to the requirements in this Regulation being required for the emissions approval, failure of the statistical testing procedure should lead to remedial measures of the emissions approval.












(15)


Considering the lead-time necessary to develop OBFCM devices, and to develop standardised signals that are not currently available, OBFCM requirements should be set as of 2027, while the real-world representativeness of the CO2 emissions and electric energy consumption values should be monitored and assessed through other means until these standardised signals are available. In that first instance, the requirements of the on-board fuel consumption and on-board mass monitoring should be limited to conventional heavy-duty vehicles with an internal combustion engine.












(16)


The scope of vehicles required to be equipped with OBFCM devices should expand in 2029 to also include all types of heavy-duty vehicles, in line with the timeline of requirements under Regulation (EU) 2024/1257 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6), giving manufacturers enough time to prepare for the application of these new provisions in a harmonised manner.












(17)


The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Technical Committee for Motor Vehicles established by Regulation (EU) 2018/858 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7),

3.   DATA STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
3.1.   Overall requirements

The general structure of information to be stored comprises lifetime values, active accumulating data and static data.
Lifetime values: This category represents aggregate values accumulated since the first initial engine operation after production.
Active accumulating data: Values stored in this category are accumulating instantaneous values up to 10 minutes of operation. The category shall transfer data to the static data category, prior to a reset to zero, and begin incrementing again when the operation time in this category reaches 10 minutes, or on engine switch off. By way of derogation to the reset, the vehicle average speed and vehicle total mass shall be calculated at the end of the 10-minute period, or on engine switch off, and the value shall be kept and updated with the new calculated value at the end of the subsequent period.
Static data: These are accumulated values (transferred into bins from the active accumulating data category) each 10-minute interval of engine operation, or on engine switch off, added up over the lifetime of the vehicle. These data are matrices, indexed by average speed and average vehicle total mass.
In addition to the three types of information to be stored, instantaneous values at a frequency sampled at 1 Hz shall be made available. This category represents current values derived from the instantaneous condition of the vehicle, such as fuel rates, vehicle velocity, instantaneous brake engine power and vehicle total mass.
3.2.   OBMM system requirements

3.2.1.   Quantity to be determined

The OBMM system shall determine vehicle total mass as defined in Article 1(15).
3.2.2.   Requirements for vehicle total mass signal

The vehicle total mass signal shall be broadcasted via CAN in at least 1 Hz frequency in the unit of kilogram (kg). The mass resolution of the broadcasted signal shall be 100 kg or better.
3.2.3.   Further use of the vehicle total mass signal for OBFCM purposes

The vehicle total mass signal shall be used for the purposes of calculating and storing of OBFCM data in accordance with points 3.3 and 3.5.
3.3.   Parameters to be recorded

3.4.   Calculation of the average speed over the accumulation period

At the end of the active accumulation period (10 minutes, or on engine switch off), the distance travelled is converted into an average speed.
In the case that the end of the active accumulation period is defined by the 10 minutes elapsing, the average speed is defined by:
Average speed over the accumulation period = distance travelled × 60/10 minutes (km/h)
In the case the active accumulation period is defined by the engine switch off, the average speed is defined by:
Average speed over the accumulation period = distance travelled × 60/number of minutes since the end of the last accumulation period and engine off (km/h)
3.5.   Static data matrix

3.5.1.   Average speed binning

For all vehicles there are four average speed windows, and one window where data shall be stored in the cases specified in point 3.6:






Idle (very low speed) running, I, without PTO operation


I < 1,6 km/h










Idle (very low speed) running, I (PTO), with PTO operation


I (PTO) < 1,6 km/h










Urban speed running, U


1,6 ≤ U < 60 km/h










Higher speed running, H


H ≥ 60 km/h




Speed data not available
The average speed, as determined following the calculation in 3.4 shall be used to determine the index in the average total vehicle mass matrix.
3.5.2.   Average total vehicle mass matrix

The average total weight of an accumulation period shall be used to determine the index in the average total vehicle mass matrix. The average total vehicle mass shall be calculated and scaled according to the methodology described in point 3.2. Only in the case specified in point 3.6.1 may a ‘mass data not available’ window be used.
For all vehicles, the same average mass windows apply:






 


N – N +1 000 kg for mass from 2 000 kg to 16 000 kg










 


N – N +2 000 kg for mass from 16 000 kg to 26 000 kg










 


N – N +3 000 kg for mass from 26 000 kg to 41 000 kg










 


N – N +4 000 kg for mass from 41 000 kg to 49 000 kg










 


N – N +5 000 kg for mass from 49 000 to 59 000 kg










 


N – N +6 000 kg for mass from 59 000 to 65 000 kg










 



                        65 000 kg and above










 


Mass data not available




3.5.3.   OBFCM static data matrix

The OBFCM static data matrix shall be indexed by the average vehicle speed during the accumulation period, as set out in point 3.5.1 following the calculation in point 3.4, and the average total vehicle mass as specified in point 3.5.2 and determined during the mass accumulation period.
The values to be indexed for each fuel type are the static (accumulated) data as specified in point 3.3. A separate data matrix shall be stored for each of the static data parameters. Each parameter is evaluated over the same time interval for the speed and mass.
For HDV configurations that do not have an on-board mass monitoring (OBMM) system requirement, as specified in point 2.1, the average vehicle total mass is not applicable. Those vehicles shall provide the relevant static accumulated values in the OBFCM static data matrix indexed by the active accumulating vehicle speed only and the ‘mass data not available’ window as specified in point 3.5.2.
If the vehicle mass data cannot be determined, as specified in point 3.6(1), then these vehicles shall also record the static data indexed by the average active accumulating vehicle speed as specified in point 3.5.1 and the ‘mass data not available’ window.
If the vehicle average speed data cannot be determined, as specified in point 3.6(2), then these vehicles shall record the static data indexed by the ‘speed data not available’ and the average mass window as set out in point 3.5.2.
3.6.   Data availability

There may be two cases where data is not available to determine both the mass and speed index:






(1)


the communication network to obtain mass readings, or the signals required to provide the mass readings are not functioning, or the vehicle is not required to have an OBMM system;










(2)


the communication network to obtain speed readings, or the signals required to provide the speed readings are not functioning.




In the case where the mass data is not available, notwithstanding the freeze or reset conditions specified in point 3.7, data shall still be logged in the OBFCM static data matrix indexed by the average speed and ‘mass data not available’.
In the case there the vehicle speed data is not available, and where the freeze or reset conditions specified in point 3.7 are not met, data shall still be logged in the OBFCM static data matrix indexed by the average vehicle total mass determined during the mass accumulation period and ‘speed data not available’.
A lifetime counter shall indicate the frequency of these occurrences.
3.7.   Access to the information provided by the OBFCM device









3.7.1.


The OBFCM device shall provide for standardised and unrestricted access of the information specified in point 3.3 and shall conform to the standards referred to in either paragraph 4.7.3 of Annex 9B to UN Regulation No 49, SAE J1979, SAE J1979-2 or SAE J1979-3.












3.7.2.


By way of derogation from the reset conditions specified in the standards referred to in point 3.7.1, once the vehicle has entered into service the values of the lifetime counters shall be preserved, except in the cases referred to in points 3.7.3 and 3.7.4.












3.7.3.


The values of the lifetime counters must be preserved including in the case where the battery is disconnected from the vehicle. They may only be erased in the exceptional circumstances defined in point 3.7.4.












3.7.4.


Lifetime counters shall be stored in Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) and may not be erasable by any scan tool command or by disconnecting power to the on-board computer, or when the control module containing the counters is reprogrammed. Lifetime counters may only be erased in conjunction with the reprogramming of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or Engine Serial Number (ESN). Only in these cases may each number of the OBFCM device be reset simultaneously to ensure that the values remain fully synchronised.




4.   ACCURACY REQUIREMENTS








4.1.


With regard to the information specified in section 3 the manufacturer shall ensure that the OBFCM device provides the most accurate values that can be achieved by the measurement and calculation system of the engine control unit.












4.2.


Notwithstanding paragraph 4.1, the performance of the OBEM determined on the monitoring tests in accordance with Table 1 shall fulfil the conditions specified in Table 7. The accuracy of the fuel consumption as determined by the OBFCM device shall be between the lower and upper accuracy bounds.

5.2.   Evaluation of monitoring data







(1)


The GAA shall evaluate the monitoring data received by the approval authority by calculating the accuracy of the parameters in accordance with point 4.










(2)


The GAA shall evaluate the accuracy of the ‘total fuel consumed (lifetime) (kilograms)’ of the OBFCM device against the accuracy requirements for fuel consumption as set out in Table 7.










(3)


The GAA shall evaluate the accuracy of the total lifetime distance travelled (kilometres) of the OBFCM device during the PEMS and VTP test against the accuracy requirements for distance travelled as set out in Table 7.










(4)


The GAA shall evaluate the accuracy of the ‘vehicle total mass (kilograms)’ as determined by the OBFCM device during the PEMS and VTP test against the accuracy requirements for vehicle total mass as set out in Table 8.




5.2.1.   Calculation of integrated fuel consumption for the evaluation of (WHTC, WHSC, FCMC) monitoring data

Any recorded negative values for the fuel consumption shall be used directly and shall not be set equal to zero for the calculations of the integrated value.
The total fuel mass (kilograms) consumed by the engine over a complete testcycle (Fuel_ConsumedWHTC
, Fuel_ConsumedWHSC
, Fuel_ConsumedFCMC
) shall be determined by integrating recorded values of fuel massflow over the same start point and end point of the fuel consumption measurement, using the following formula:





where:













is the total fuel mass consumed by the engine over the time period from t0
 to t1
 in kilograms.





t0




is the time at the start of the time period.





t1




is the time at the end of the time period.





n



is the number of recorded values over the period from t0
 to t1
.





mffuel,k [0 … n]




is the recorded fuel massflow values over the time period from t0
 to t1
 in chronological order, where k runs from 0 at t0
 to n at t1
.





h



is the interval width between two adjacent recorded values defined by









5.2.2.   Evaluation of PEMS monitoring data









5.2.2.1.


The fuel consumption determined from the PEMS test is evaluated following the accuracy requirement in point 4, where the fuel consumption is measured during the PEMS test and shared with the GAA in accordance with point 5.1.3, and the fuel consumption is calculated using the properties of the appropriate reference fuels, as specified in Annex IX to Regulation (EU) No 582/2011, regardless of the actual fuel used.












5.2.2.2.


For all equations in points 5.2.2.3 to 5.2.2.10 the integrated data of the points 10.1.10.8 to 10.1.10.12 of Table 11 from test start to test end shall be used, where:






 



FC is the fuel consumption of a specific fuel, g/test;










 



HC are the emissions of hydrocarbons, g/test;










 



CO are the emissions of carbon monoxide, g/test;










 



CO2
 are the emissions of carbon dioxide, g/test.
















5.2.2.3.


For vehicles with a positive ignition engine fuelled with petrol (E10)

FC = 1,20 × [(0,831 × HC) + (0,429 × CO) + (0,273 × CO2)]













5.2.2.4.


For vehicles with a positive ignition engine fuelled with LPG

FC = 1,212 × [(0,825 × HC) + (0,429 × CO) + (0,273 × CO2)]

If the composition of the fuel used for the test differs from the composition that is assumed for the calculation of the normalised consumption, a correction factor cf may be applied at the manufacturer’s request, as follows:

FC_norm = 1,212 × cf × [(0,825 × HC) + (0,429 × CO) + (0,273 × CO2)]

The correction factor cf, which may be applied, is determined as follows:

cf = 0,825 + 0,0693 nactual


where:

nactual
 is the actual H/C ratio of the fuel used.












5.2.2.5.


For vehicles with a positive ignition engine fuelled with NG/biomethane

FC = 1,336 × [(0,749 × HC) + (0,429 × CO) + (0,273 × CO2)]













5.2.2.6.


For vehicles with a positive ignition engine fuelled with ethanol (E85)

FC = 1,742 × [(0,574 × HC) + (0,429 × CO) + (0,273 × CO2)]













5.2.2.7.


For vehicles with a compression ignition engine fuelled with diesel

FC = 1,165 × [(0,859 × HC) + (0,429 × CO) + (0,273 × CO2)]













5.2.2.8.


For vehicles with a compression ignition engine fuelled with ethanol (ED95)

FC = 1,86 × [(0,538 × HC) + (0,429 × CO) + (0,273 × CO2)]













5.2.2.9.


For vehicles with a compression ignition engine fuelled with biodiesel (B100)

FC = 1,331 × [(0,770 × HC) + (0,429 × CO) + (0,273 × CO2)]













5.2.2.10.


If there is an exceedance of the accuracy requirements for a B100 vehicle using the formula in 5.2.2.9 of this Annex, where the test fuel used is FAME B100, the manufacturer may request that the conversion is recalculated based on an analysis of the fuel sample taken in accordance with point 4.4.2.2 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 582/2011. In that case, the manufacturer shall determine the FAME content and communicate it to the GAA together with the supporting documents.
The GAA shall calculate the fuel consumption, using the following formula:

FC = 1,331 × cf × [(0,770 × HC) + (0,429 × CO) + (0,273 × CO2)]

For the purposes of this correction, the correction factor cf is determined as follows:





where:







NCVmeas




is the NCV of the fuel used during the test and determined in accordance with point 3.2 of Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2017/2400 [MJ/kg].





NCVstd




is the standard NCV in accordance with Table 4 of Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2017/2400 [MJ/kg].








5.3.   Verification test









5.3.1.


The GAA shall conduct a statistical verification test in accordance with Annex II if any of the accuracy requirements in any of the tests set out in Table 7 are exceeded.












5.3.2.


The GAA shall conduct a statistical verification test in accordance with Annex III if any of the accuracy requirements in any of the tests set out in Table 8 are exceeded.












5.3.3.


Notwithstanding point 5.3.1, for those vehicle groups where only a surveillance of the accuracy applies for the fuel consumption or total distance applies (‘SE’) as set out in Table 1, the accuracy shall be determined, and an exceedance of the accuracy shall not lead to a statistical verification test as set out in Annex II. An exceedance of the accuracy shall be communicated to the manufacturer and to the Commission.












5.3.4.


Notwithstanding point 5.3.2, for those vehicle groups where only a surveillance of the accuracy applies for vehicle total mass (‘SM’) as set out in Table 1, the accuracy shall be determined, and an exceedance of the accuracy shall not lead to a statistical verification test as set out in Annex III. An exceedance of the accuracy shall be communicated to the manufacturer and to the Commission.
