1.2.3. Calculation of the average specific emissions of CO 2 and the specific emission target U.K.

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.

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.

1.2.4. Calculation of the monitoring CO2 emissions in the case of incomplete base vehicles U.K.

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:

(a)

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:

MRO base

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;

B 0

is the body mass value of 1,375;

M VL

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:

A i

is the value A y as calculated in Formula 2 for the relevant calendar year

n i

is the number of incomplete base vehicles related to completed vehicles registered in the calendar year

Formula 2:

where:

A y

is the average of the ratio between M fi and M bi for each of the calendar years 2018 to 2020;

M fi

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;

M bi

is the mass in running order of the incomplete base vehicle;

n

is the number of incomplete base vehicles related to completed vehicles registered in the calendar year.

(b)

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.

(c)

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:

(i)

frontal area of the representative vehicle of the road load matrix family, in m 2 ;

(ii)

the mean value of the frontal area of vehicle high and vehicle low of the interpolation family, in m 2 ;

(iii)

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.

1.2.5. Representativeness of the monitoring CO2 value U.K.

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.]

[F42.The details referred to in point 1 shall be taken from the certificate of conformity issued by the manufacturer of the relevant light commercial vehicle or be consistent with it. For those details that are not available in the certificate of conformity, details shall be taken from the type approval documentation or from the information reported by the base vehicle manufacturer pursuant to point 1.2.3. [F14The Secretary of State] shall put the necessary measures in place to ensure adequate accuracy in the monitoring procedure. Where the certificate of conformity specifies both a minimum and a maximum mass for a light commercial vehicle, the [F15Secretary of State] shall use only the maximum figure for the purpose of this Regulation. In the case of bi-fuelled vehicles (petrol/gas) the certificates of conformity of which bear specific CO 2 emission figures for both types of fuel, [F16the Secretary of State] shall use only the figure measured for gas.]U.K.

3.[F17The Secretary of State] shall, for each calendar year, determine:U.K.

(a)

the total number of new registrations of new light commercial vehicles subject to EC type-approval;

(b)

the total number of new registrations of new light commercial vehicles subject to multi-stage type-approval, where available;

(c)

the total number of new registrations of new light commercial vehicles subject to individual approval;

(d)

the total number of new registrations of new light commercial vehicles subject to national type-approval of small series.

B.Methodology for determining CO2 monitoring information for new light commercial vehiclesU.K.

Monitoring information which [F18the Secretary of State is] required to determine in accordance with points 1 and 3 of Part A shall be determined in accordance with the methodology in this Part.

1.Number of new light commercial vehicles registeredU.K.

[F19The Secretary of State] shall determine the number of new light commercial vehicles registered within [F20Great Britain] in the respective monitoring year divided into vehicles subject to EC type-approval, individual approval and national type-approval of small series and, where available, subject to multi-stage type-approval.

2.Completed vehiclesU.K.

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.

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.

C.Formats for transmission of dataU.K.

For each year, [F22the Secretary of State shall collect] the information specified in points 1 and 3 of Part A in the following format:

Section 1

Aggregated monitoring data
