Proposal for a REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL amending Regulations (EC) No 715/2007, (EC) No 595/2009 and (EC) No 595661/2009 as regards the reduction of pollutant emissions from road vehicles

(3a) The results of the test procedure that provides the basis of EC type approval emissions regulations should reflect emission levels observed in real driving conditions. Therefore, emission control systems and test cycles should be designed in real driving conditions, especially in urban areas where driving conditions are much more transient than the regulatory test cycle.

(5a) High concentrations of air pollution caused by emitted precursors for O3 (high concentration of ozone, together with high temperatures in summer) as well as by diesel particulates and other emissions (that together with so-called inversion leads to smog during winter) should be avoided by precautionary measures. In particular, intensive cooperation with meteorological services should lead to timely and appropriate measures.

(3) In order to facilitate the introduction of natural gas vehicles the current total hydrocarbons (THC) emission limit should be increased and the effect of methane emissions should be taken into account and expressed as a CO2 equivalent for regulatory and consumer information purposes.

(4) Modern diesel vehicles emit high and increasing amounts of NO2 as a share of the total NOx emissions which were not anticipated when Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 was adopted. Most air quality problems in affected urban areas appear to be related to direct NO2 emissions. Therefore, an appropriate emission limit should be introducedWhile NO is easily converted into NO2 in the atmosphere, a stringent NOx limit, controlled against emission levels observed in real driving conditions, is the most effective way to ensure low NO2 concentrations in the ambient air.

(2a) Article 5(1) is amended as follows: "The manufacturer shall equip vehicles so that the components likely to affect emissions are designed, constructed and assembled so as to enable the vehicle, in normal usereal driving conditions, to comply with this Regulation and its implementing measures. The manufacturer shall ensure the effectiveness of emission control systems by complying with a Conformity Factor that reflects only the possible tolerances of the emissions measurement procedure."

(6a) The potential to reduce fuel consumption, and therefore pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions, through efficient driving behaviour, is insufficiently exploited. This is mainly due to a lack of information or awareness on the part of drivers about how to drive efficiently. Fuel consumption meters (FCM) and gear shift indicators (GSI) effectively facilitate efficient driving when used at the same time. It is therefore appropriate to introduce those systems as a requirement for the type-approval of motor vehicles in Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council5a. __________________ 5aRegulation (EC) No 661/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 concerning type-approval requirements for the general safety of motor vehicles, their trailers and systems, components and separate technical units intended therefor (OJ L 200, 31.7.2009, p. 1).

(3b) Article 7 Fees for access to vehicle repair and maintenance information 1. Manufacturers may charge reasonable and proportionate fees for access to vehicle repair and maintenance information covered by this Regulation; a fee is not reasonable or proportionate if it discourages access by failing to take into account the extent to which the independent operator uses it. 2. Manufacturers shall make available vehicle repair and maintenance information including transactional services such as reprogramming or technical assistance on an hourly, daily, monthly, and yearly basis, with fees for access to such information varying in accordance with the respective periods of time for which access is granted. In addition to time-based access, manufacturers may offer transaction- based access, for which fees are charged per transaction and not based on the time for which access is granted. Where both access systems are offered by manufacturers, independent repairers shall choose a preferred access system, either time-based or transaction-basedis replaced by the following: "Article 7 Access to vehicle repair and maintenance information Manufacturers shall provide free access to vehicle repair and maintenance information covered by this Regulation.".

Article 2a Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 is amended as follows: (1) In Article 1, point 2 is replaced by the following: "2. for the type-approval of motor vehicles, in respect of tyre pressure monitoring systems, with regard to their safety, fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions and, in respect of gear shift indicators and fuel consumption meters, with regard to their fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions; and". (2) In Article 3, the following point is added: "16a. 'fuel consumption meter' means a device which provides the driver with accurate information about the real fuel consumption of the vehicle, displaying at least the following data: instantaneous fuel consumption (l/100 km), average fuel consumption (l/100 km), fuel consumption when idling (l/hour) and lifetime fuel consumption (l).". (3) In Article 5(2), the following point is added: "(na) fuel consumption meters.". (4) Article 11 is replaced by the following: "Article 11 Gear shift indicators and fuel consumption meters Vehicles of categories M1, M2, N1 and N2, which are fitted with a manual gearbox, shall be equipped with a gear shift indicator in accordance with the requirements of this Regulation and its implementing measures. Vehicles of categories M and N shall be equipped with a fuel consumption meter in accordance with the requirements of this Regulation and its implementing measures.". (5) In Article 13, the following paragraph is added: "15a. With regard to the requirements of Article 11 to fit vehicles of categories M2, N1 and N2 with a gear shift indicator and to fit vehicles of categories M and N with a fuel consumption meter, the dates referred to in paragraphs 2 and 5 of this Article shall be read as 1 January 2018 and 1 January 2019 respectively.".
