(2a) High and ever increasing fossil fuel and particularly oil prices are a threat to economic recovery, energy security and energy affordability in Europe. Oil shocks can lead to deep recessions, reduced competitiveness and rising unemployment. Therefore, reducing our oil dependence by, amongst others, increasing the efficiency and sustainability of new passenger cars and vans is a priority.

(7b) As correct and truthful information on CO2 emission and fuel consumption, which are directly related, is essential to consumers for making informed choices, highest attention should be given to predicting these parameters. However, today, the real emissions of cars and vans on the road greatly differ from the values determined in the current test cycle. Therefore, the swift development of an improved test cycle is needed.

(7) To enable the automotive industry to carry out long-term investments and innovation it is desirable to provide indications for the period beyond 2020. These indications should be based on an assessment of the necessary rate of reduction in line with the Union's long term climate goals and the implications for the development of cost effective CO2 reducing technology for cars. It is therefore desirable for these aspects to be reviewed, the Commission to make a report and if appropriate proposals made for targets beyond 2020. The report should look at the CO2 emissions generated across a vehicle’s entire life cycle (including during the production and post-use stages).

(7a) Given that accurate and truthful information on CO2 emissions and fuel consumption is essential for consumers to be able to make informed choices, the utmost attention should be paid to assessing these two parameters. At present, on-road emissions from vehicles differ greatly from the figures measured during the emissions test cycle. A test cycle that produces more accurate results therefore needs to be developed at the earliest opportunity.

(7b) With a view to bringing the specific CO2 emissions quoted for new cars more closely into line with the emissions actually generated during normal conditions of use, the Commission should seek to ensure that the new international light-duty vehicle test procedure (World Light-Duty Test Cycle – WLTC/P) is finalised as soon as possible, so that it may be adopted at European level by the end of 2014 and introduced in January 2017.

(8) The Regulation requires the Commission to carry out an impact assessment in order to review the test procedures to reflect adequately the real CO2 emissions behaviour of cars. This work is proceeding through the development of a World Light Duty Test procedure in the framework of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe but is not yet complete. In view of this, Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 establishes emission limits for 2020 as measured according to Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and Annex XII to Regulation (EC) No 692/2008. When the test procedures are amended, the limits set in Annex I should be adjusted to ensure comparable stringency for manufacturers and classes of vehicles. Accordingly, if the WLTP is not adopted by 2014, the Commission should, at the earliest opportunity, amend the EU measurement procedures provided for in Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 to take account of vehicles' actual on-road CO2 emissions.

(1a) In Article 1 the following paragraph is inserted after paragraph 2: “From 2025 onwards, this Regulation sets a target within a range of 65 g CO2/km to 75 g CO2/km as average emissions for the new car fleet as measured in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and Annex XII to Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 and its implementing measures. Prior to the setting of this target, the Commission shall conduct an impact assessment focusing on technological feasibility and the market take-up of the new cars.”

(2a) In Article 3(1), point (f) is replaced by the following: “(f) ‘specific emissions of CO2’ means the CO2 emissions of a passenger car measured in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and specified as the CO2 mass emissions (combined) in the certificate of conformity. For passenger cars which are not type-approved in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, ‘specific emissions of CO2’ means the CO2 emissions measured in accordance with the same measurement procedure as specified for passenger cars in Regulation (EC) No 692/2008, or in accordance with procedures adopted by the Commission to establish the CO2 emissions for such passenger cars; for the purpose of applying this provision, the WLTP test cycle shall be used in place of the measurement procedures referred to above from 1 January 2017."

1. In calculating the average specific emissions of CO2 in the period from 2020 to 2023, each new passenger car with specific emissions of CO2 of less than 35 g CO2/km shall be counted as: – 1.3 passenger cars in the period from 2020 to 2023 and as 1 passenger car from 2024 onwards. respect of manufacturers for which sales of new vehicles with specific emissions of less than 35 g CO2/km account for between 2% and 3% of total annual sales, – 1.5 passenger cars in respect of manufacturers for which sales of new vehicles with specific emissions of less than 35 g CO2/km account for between 3% and 4% of total annual sales, – 1.7 passenger cars in respect of manufacturers for which sales of new vehicles with specific emissions of less than 35 g CO2/km account for more than 4% of total annual sales.

The total contribution of those technologies to reducing the specific emissions target of a manufacturer may be up to 7 g CO2/km. That contribution shall be credited to each manufacturer in proportion to the percentage of vehicles in the manufacturer’s fleet in which those innovative technologies are used.”
