Article 4 Data sources

1. Member States shall prepare the aggregated monitoring data and the detailed monitoring data based upon information contained in the certificate of conformity or the type-approval documentation of the relevant light commercial vehicle as specified in the table in Annex I to this Regulation.

2. The parameter ‘total number of new registrations’ in the detailed monitoring data shall be determined from the total number of registration records created in each year which relate to a single vehicle.

3. The parameter ‘category of the vehicle registered’ in the detailed monitoring data shall be based on the technical characteristics of the vehicle at the time of registration.

4. Where there is more than one name of a manufacturer on the certificate of conformity or type-approval documentation, the Member State shall report the manufacturer of the base vehicle.

5. The CO₂ emission values to be reported under the parameter ‘specific emissions of CO₂’ in the detailed monitoring data shall be taken from the entry ‘combined’ in the certificate of conformity or the type-approval documentation, except in the case when the entry for ‘weighted combined’ applies.

6. In reporting the alternative fuel vehicles in the detailed monitoring data, the competent authority shall provide the fuel type and fuel mode as specified in Annex I to this Regulation.

7. In the case of bi-fuel gas or flex-fuel ethanol vehicles, the competent authority shall report the following CO₂ emission values under the parameter ‘specific emissions of CO₂ (g/km)’ in the detailed monitoring data:

(a) for bi-fuel gas vehicles using petrol and gaseous fuels, the CO₂ emissions value for the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or natural gas (NG) in accordance with point 2 in Part A of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011;

(b) for flex-fuel ethanol vehicles using petrol and ethanol (E85) fuel referred to in Article 6 of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011, the CO₂ emission value for petrol.

In the case of point (b), Member States shall report the petrol value also where the conditions for a reduction set out in Article 6 of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 are not met. Member States may however also report the E85 value.

8. Where the vehicle is equipped with more than one steering axle or non-steering axle of different widths, the Member State shall report the maximum axle width under the parameter ‘Track width other axle (mm)’ in the detailed monitoring data. The wheelbase for these vehicles shall be the distance between the outer front and the outer back axles.

9. Where the aggregated monitoring data and the detailed monitoring data are taken from the type-approval documentation, and where those data contain ranges of values, the Member States shall ensure that the reported data provide adequate accuracy, and are in accordance with the data contained in the certificate of conformity.
