Textual Amendments
For each new completed vehicle of category N1, type-approved in accordance with Annex XXI to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 registered in 2020 and subsequent calendar years, the manufacturer of the related base vehicle shall report to the [F8Secretary of State] by 28 February each year, starting from [F92022], the following data relating to the base vehicle:
Textual Amendments
where the completed vehicle is based on an incomplete base vehicle:
vehicle identification number;
vehicle family identifier as referred to in paragraph 5.0 of Annex XXI to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151;
monitoring CO 2 emissions determined in accordance with point 1.2.4;
frontal area, specifying the applicable option as referred to in point 1.2.4(c);
rolling resistance, as referred to in point 1.2.4(b);
monitoring mass, determined in accordance with point 4.1 of Part B of Annex I;
mass in running order;
mass representative of the vehicle load as defined in point 1.2.4(a);
where the completed vehicle is based on a complete base vehicle:
vehicle identification number;
vehicle family identifier as referred to in point (a)(ii) of this paragraph;
specific CO 2 emissions of the base vehicle;
mass in running order.
The [F10Secretary of State] shall use the values reported by a base vehicle manufacturer in accordance with point 1.2.2 to calculate its average specific emissions of CO 2 and the specific emission target in the calendar year in which the related completed vehicle is registered, except where the conditions referred to in point 1.2.5 are met in which case the data for the completed vehicles shall be used.
Textual Amendments
Where the data referred to in point 1.2.2 is not reported by the manufacturer of the base vehicle, the specific CO 2 emissions [F11collected by the Secretary of State] in accordance with point 1.2.1 with regard to the related completed vehicle shall be used for the calculation of the average specific emissions of CO 2 and the specific emissions target of the manufacturer concerned.
Textual Amendments
A manufacturer shall, starting from calendar year [F122021], calculate the monitoring CO 2 emissions for each of its individual incomplete base vehicles in accordance with the interpolation method referred to in points 3.2.3.2 or 3.2.4 of Sub-Annex 7 to Annex XXI to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151, using the same method as that applied for the EC type-approval of the base vehicle with regard to its emissions, where the terms shall be as defined in those points with the following exceptions:
Textual Amendments
Mass of the individual vehicle
The term ‘TM ind ’ referred to in points 3.2.3.2.2.1 or 3.2.4.1.1.1 of Sub-Annex 7 to Annex XXI to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 shall be replaced by the base vehicle default mass, DM base . Where DM base is lower than the test mass of vehicle low, TM L , of the interpolation family, TM ind shall be replaced by TM L . Where DM base is higher than the test mass of vehicle high, TM H , of the interpolation family, TM ind shall be replaced by TM H .
DM base shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:
DM base = MRO base × B 0 + 25 kg + M VL
where:
is the mass in running order of the base vehicle as defined in point 3.2.5 of Annex XXI to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151;
is the body mass value of 1,375;
is the mass representative of the vehicle load, which means 28 per cent of the maximum vehicle load, where maximum vehicle load is defined as the technically permissible maximum laden mass minus the mass in running order of the base vehicle multiplied by B 0 , minus 25 kg.
The value of B 0 shall be adjusted by 31 October 2021 on the basis of the mass in running order of the incomplete base vehicles for all completed vehicles registered in calendar years 2018, 2019, and 2020, calculated in accordance with the below formulas. The new B 0 value shall apply from 1 January 2022 until 31 December 2024.
Formula 1:
where:
is the value A y as calculated in Formula 2 for the relevant calendar year
is the number of incomplete base vehicles related to completed vehicles registered in the calendar year
Formula 2:
where:
is the average of the ratio between M fi and M bi for each of the calendar years 2018 to 2020;
is the mass in running order of the incomplete base vehicle increased by the default added mass as defined in Section 5 of Annex XII to Regulation (EC) No 692/2008;
is the mass in running order of the incomplete base vehicle;
is the number of incomplete base vehicles related to completed vehicles registered in the calendar year.
Rolling resistance of the individual vehicle
The rolling resistance of the base vehicle shall be used for the purposes of point 3.2.3.2.2.2 or 3.2.4.1.1.2 of Sub-Annex 7 to Annex XXI to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151.
Frontal area
In the case of an incomplete base vehicle that belongs to a road load matrix family, the manufacturer shall determine the term ‘Af’ referred to in point 3.2.3.2.2.3 of Sub-Annex 7 to Annex XXI to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 in accordance with one of the following options:
frontal area of the representative vehicle of the road load matrix family, in m 2 ;
the mean value of the frontal area of vehicle high and vehicle low of the interpolation family, in m 2 ;
the frontal area of the vehicle high of the interpolation family, in case the interpolation method is not used, in m 2 .
In the case of an incomplete base vehicle that does not belong to a road load matrix family, the frontal area value of vehicle high of the interpolation family shall be used.
The [F13Secretary of State] shall each year assess the representativeness of the average of the monitoring CO 2 emissions reported by the base vehicle manufacturer as compared to the average of the specific emissions of CO 2 of the related completed vehicles registered in the relevant calendar year. The [F13Secretary of State] shall inform the manufacturer of the base vehicle of the divergence found between those values.

In case a divergence by 4 % or more is found during each of two successive calendar years, the [F13Secretary of State] shall use the average of the specific emissions of CO 2 of the completed vehicles in the following calendar year to calculate the average specific emissions of CO 2 of the base vehicle manufacturer or the pool in that year.]

Textual Amendments
In the case of multi-stage vehicles, the specific emissions of CO2 of completed vehicles shall be allocated to the manufacturer of the base vehicle.
In order to ensure that the values of CO2 emissions, fuel efficiency and mass of completed vehicles are representative, without placing an excessive burden on the manufacturer of the base vehicle, the [F21Secretary of State] shall come forward with a specific monitoring procedure and shall, where appropriate, make the necessary amendments to the relevant type-approval legislation.
Textual Amendments
Notwithstanding that for the purpose of the calculation of the 2020 target in accordance with point 2 of Part B of Annex I the default added mass shall be taken from Part C of this Annex, where that mass value cannot be determined, the mass in running order of the completed vehicle may be used for the provisional calculation of the specific emissions target referred to in Article 7(4).
Where the base vehicle is a complete vehicle, the mass in running order of that vehicle shall be used for the calculation of the specific emissions target. However, where that mass value cannot be determined, the mass in running order of the completed vehicle may be used for the provisional calculation of the specific emissions target.
For each year, [F22the Secretary of State shall collect] the information specified in points 1 and 3 of Part A in the following format:
