   1.        CONTEXT OF THE DELEGATED ACT
   According to Regulation (EU) 2019/631, the specific CO2 emission targets to be achieved by
   manufacturers of new light commercial vehicles are set as a function of the average mass in
   running order of the manufacturer’s vehicle fleet as well as the EU-wide vehicle fleet. In
   order to ensure that the EU-fleet wide emission targets set out in that Regulation continue to
   be achieved over time, it is necessary that the formula for calculating the specific emission
   targets reflects the evolution of the average mass of new light commercial vehicles registered
   in the Union. As a consequence, the reference EU fleet-wide average mass value (expressed
   as the M0 value in the target calculation formula set out in point 4 of Part B of Annex I to that
   Regulation) is to be regularly adjusted.
   The new value, to be applied for calculating the specific emission targets from 2021 on, is
   based on the average mass in running order of new vehicles in the calendar years 2016, 2017
   and 2018. The calculation takes into account the average mass in running order over those
   three years, weighted according to the number of new registrations in each of those years, as
   confirmed by Commission Implementing Decisions (EU) 2018/1431, (EU) 2019/5822 and
   (EU) 2020/10353.
   2.        CONSULTATIONS PRIOR TO THE ADOPTION OF THE ACT
   On 18 June 2020, the Expert Group on CO2 emissions from motor vehicles was informed of
   the new M0 value.
   3.        LEGAL ELEMENTS OF THE DELEGATED ACT
   The target calculation formula is amended with a view to applying the new M0 value from 1
   January 2021.

           manufacturers of new light commercial vehicles for the calendar year 2016 pursuant to Regulation (EU)

           manufacturers of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles for the calendar year 2018 pursuant to

     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
   510/20114, 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) 2018/1435, (EU)
          2019/5826 and (EU) 2020/10357, 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 M 0 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,
