EU: Update of the regulation for emission type approval procedures for light passenger and commercial vehicles
The EU Commission has published a Draft Commission Regulation amending Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 as regards the emission type approval procedures for light passenger and commercial vehicle.
The draft Commission Regulation amends Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 by reflecting the adaptation to technical progress achieved in the UN World Forum for Harmonisation of Vehicle Regulations on the UN Regulation 154 for the Worldwide harmonised Light-duty vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) and in the draft UN Regulation on Real Driving Emissions (RDE) test procedure.
The proposal further improves the RDE test procedure and repeals obsolete provisions for the rules on access to vehicles On Board Diagnostics information and vehicle repair and maintenance information, which were incorporated into the Type-Approval Framework Regulation (EU) 2018/858.
The proposed date of adoption is November 2022.
