COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2024/766

of 1 March 2024

amending Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1119 as regards the calculation of the CO2 savings and of the statistical margin for certain not off-vehicle charging hybrid electric passenger cars

(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)](#ntr1-L_202400766EN.000101-E0001), and in particular Article 11(4) thereof,

Whereas:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (1) | On 25 July 2023, the manufacturer BMW AG (‘the applicant’) submitted a request in accordance with Article 12a of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011 [(2)](#ntr2-L_202400766EN.000101-E0002) applicable on that date for Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1119 [(3)](#ntr3-L_202400766EN.000101-E0003) to be amended to adapt the calculation of the CO2 savings and of the statistical margin for certain not off-vehicle charging hybrid electric vehicles to the methodology laid out in Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 [(4)](#ntr4-L_202400766EN.000101-E0004). |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (2) | Regulation (EU) 2017/1151, as amended by Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/443 [(5)](#ntr5-L_202400766EN.000101-E0005), provides for an alternative approach to correct the battery charge imbalance of certain non-externally chargeable hybrid electrified vehicles, which relies on a generic emission factor depending on the type of engine. The applicant requested to be allowed to use that approach for the calculation of the CO2 savings and of the statistical margin for the innovative technology approved by Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1119. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (3) | Taking into account the arguments presented by the applicant, it is appropriate for the testing methodology set out in the Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1119 to be modified to ensure that vehicle manufacturers applying the alternative approach introduced by Regulation (EU) 2023/443 do not face unnecessary testing burden when applying for the certification of CO2 savings in accordance with Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1119. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (4) | Whereas the applicant requested to use the alternative approach based on an alternator efficiency of 0,67, it is appropriate to consistently follow the approach set out in Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 and to apply an alternator efficiency of 1 for determining the CO2 savings and the statistical margin, and to adapt the testing methodology set out in the Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1119 accordingly. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (5) | Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1119 should therefore be amended accordingly, |

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1119 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Decision.

Article 2

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

Done at Brussels, 1 March 2024.

For the Commission

The President

Ursula VON DER LEYEN

ANNEX

The Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1119 is amended as follows:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| 1. | in point 4.1.2, the following paragraph is added:  ‘Alternatively, at the request of the manufacturer, the total CO2 savings of the lighting package shall be calculated in accordance with the methodology set out in point 4.1.1, with the coefficient ηΑ set to 1.’; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| 2. | in point 4.2.2, the following paragraph is added after Formula 9:  ‘If the methodology referred to in point 4.1.2, last paragraph, is applied, the statistical margin of the lighting package shall be calculated in accordance with point 4.2.1, with the coefficient ηΑ set to 1.’. |
