COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) …/...
            
            
               of XXX
            
            
               amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1152 to clarify the WLTP test conditions and for the monitoring of type approval data 
            
            
               (Text with EEA relevance)
            
            
               THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
            
            
               Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
            
            
               Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2011 setting emission performance standards for new light commercial vehicles as part of the Union’s integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles
                  1
               , and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 13(6) thereof,
            
            
               Whereas:
            
            
               (1)In order to take into account the difference in the level of CO2 emissions determined under the New European Test Cycle (NEDC) and those determined under the new Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP), a methodology for correlating the CO2 emission values has been put in place through Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1152
                  2
                with regard to light commercial vehicles.
            
            
               (2)The correlation methodology is to deliver results that ensure that the reduction requirements set out in Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 are of comparable stringency under the old and the new test procedures, and for that purpose it is necessary to clarify how the WLTP test is to be performed. Those clarifications include certain aspects of the test conditions that should apply for the purpose of the correlation in 2020, but are without prejudice to the procedure and requirements set out in Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151
                  3
               . 
            
            
               (3)It is also necessary to determine the difference in 2020 between the CO2 emission values declared by the manufacturers for the purpose of the WLTP type approval with those measured pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151.  Manufacturers should therefore be required to calculate and report to the Commission the WLTP CO2 values for all new light commercial vehicles registered in the calendar year 2020 using the measurement values for vehicle H and L as input to the interpolation method. 
            
            
               (4)The transparency in the emissions testing should be improved, and data on the WLTP tests as well as on the correlation results should therefore be made available to the Commission as from January 2019. This will allow the Commission to swiftly identify and address issues and possible inconsistencies relating to the implementation of the procedures. For that reason, the input data matrix in point 2.4 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2017/1152 should be completed for each WLTP test performed and be transmitted to the Commission in its entirety as part of the correlation tool data exchange. To ensure confidentiality, the input data file should be encrypted in view of its transmission. 
            
            
               (5)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Climate Change Committee, 
            
            
               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
            
            
               Article 1
            
            
               Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1152 is amended as follows:
            
            
               (1)The following Article 6a is added:
            
            
               “Article 6a
                  Reporting of WLTP measurement results
            
            
         
         
            
               1.Manufacturers shall calculate the combined CO2 value for each new light commercial vehicle registered in 2020 in accordance with the formula set out in the second subparagraph of paragraph 3.2.3.2.4., where the terms MCO2-H and MCO2-L shall, for the interpolation family concerned, be replaced by the values MCO2,C,5 taken from the entries 2.5.1.1.3 (vehicle H) and 2.5.1.2.2 (vehicle L) of the EC type-approval certificate, as indicated in the model set out in appendix 4 to Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151.
            
            
               Where the combined CO2 emissions of the individual vehicle are determined by reference to vehicle H only, the manufacturers shall provide the MCO2,C,5 value taken from the entry 2.5.1.1.3 (vehicle H) of the EC type approval certificate. 
            
            
               The manufacturer shall submit those CO2 emission values to the Commission at the latest three months following receipt of the notification by the Commission of the provisional data for 2020 to the European Environment Agency (EEA) using the manufacturer’s account in the (EEA) Business Data Repository.
            
            
               2.Where the CO2 emission values referred to in paragraph 1 are not submitted within the deadline indicated, the Commission shall take the value recorded in entry 2.5.1.2.2 of the EC type-approval certificate and consider that value as the CO2 emissions combined for the purposes of paragraph 1 for all new registered vehicles in the interpolation family for which the type approval certificate was issued.”
            
            
               (2)Annex I is amended as follows:
            
            
               (a)The first subparagraph of point 2.3. is replaced by the following:
            
            
               ‘In order for the WLTP test to be considered relevant in accordance with point 2.2 of Annex I to this Regulation  and for the purpose of determining the input data set out in point 2.4, the test conditions set out in Annex XXI to Regulation 2017/1151 shall apply with the following precisions:
            
            
               (a)Notwithstanding the provisions in point 2.6.1.2 of Sub-Annex 6 of Annex XXI to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151, the REESSs shall be fully charged before the preconditioning test cycle;
            
            
               (b)If the test vehicle is fitted with technologies that influence its CO2 performance, including but not limited to those referred to in entries 42 to 50 of the input data matrix set out in point 2.4, the technologies shall be operational during the vehicle test, regardless of the test procedure applied;  
            
            
               (c)If the test vehicle is equipped with automated transmissions the same gear shifting algorithms shall be used, regardless of the test procedure applied;
            
            
               (d)If the test vehicle is equipped with manual transmissions, the term nmin_drive_set shall be as defined by the formula set out in point (k) (3) of paragraph 2 of Sub-Annex 2 to Annex XXI to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151.
            
            
               The manufacturer may calculate the gear shifting points differently with the approval of the approval authority and technical service, provided that this is justified in view of the drivability of the vehicle, and that the additional power safety margin applied in accordance with point 3.4 of Sub-Annex 2 to Annex XXI to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 does not exceed 20 %.
            
            
               The precisions referred to in points (a) to (d) shall apply from 1 January 2020 for all new vehicles entering into service from that date, or prior to that date at the request of the manufacturer. 
            
            
               The type approval authority and/or technical service shall verify that the requirements set out in this point are met.’
            
            
               (b)point 2.4 is amended as follows:
