DRAFT OPINION (COM(2022)0586 – C90375/2022 – 2022/0365(COD)) 2023-05-15

On the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on type-approval of motor vehicles and engines and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles, with respect to their emissions and battery durability (Euro 7) and repealing Regulations (EC) No 715/2007 and (EC) No 595/2009

SHORT JUSTIFICATION

EURO 7 standard will apply to all motor vehicles setting limits to non-exhaust emissions, including particle emissions from brakes and tires in order to reduce air pollution from new motor vehicles sold in the EU to meet the European Green Deal's zero-pollution ambition. While the proposal will significantly contribute to the improvement of air quality and the environmental objectives of the Union, its implementation will also imply a wave of investments for all categories of vehicle manufacturers (LDV and HDV) as well as for the entire industry of components and separate technical units (tires and breaks), which will be likely pass on the consumers.

In its Impact assessment the European Commission estimates an increase in the price of a passenger car by a maximum of 150 Euro, while the automotive industry estimates a 2,000 Euro price increase. There exists a significant discrepancy between the estimations in the case of HDVs as well. Given the increase in price, it is expected that more than 250 million vehicles (LDV and HDV) currently in use in the EU will be used also after Euro 7 will enter in force. For these vehicles, there is no other alternative to reduce CO2 emissions than to use alternative fuels. The legislative framework has to stimulate industry to invest in Research and Development for the least polluting alternative fuels and to incentify the economy of scale production of those fuels to ensure the necessary quantity for the cars in use and its affordability.

However, it should be underlined that the CO2 reduction and the other emission reduction (the ones set by Euro 7 standard) cannot be treated separately. They are connected, as the ultimate policy goal is to reach the objective set in Fit for 55, the 55% CO2 emissions reduction target in 2030. The European legislation must adapt to this situation, otherwise, Europe will produce technologically and competitively outdated products.

Baring all these in mind, the objective of the TRAN opinion Rapporteur is to safeguard balance and proportionality between the environmental benefits and socio-economic costs of the proposal to ensure on one hand high standards of air quality for our citizens but also on the other hand the opportunity for the European industry to apply these rules in a reasonable time frame with minimal possible investments and negative consequences on their competitiveness and preventing significant price increases that would limit mobility, the possibility of an average consumer to get a car, as well as increase transport prices and fuel already unprecedentedly high inflation in the Union.

Highlights of the Report

1. Timing

In maximum one year after the date of entering in force of this Regulation the Commission must adopt the implementing/delegated acts.

The Regulation will apply 3 years from the date of entering in force of the corresponding implementing and delegated acts for new types of M1, N1 vehicles and components and separate technical units, except tyres and brakes, for those vehicles and 5 years from the date of entering in force of the corresponding implementing and delegated acts for new types of M2, M3, N2, N3 vehicles and components and separate technical units, except tyres and brakes, for those vehicles and O3, O4 trailers.

2. Testing methods closer to Euro 6/VI standards built on established technology and methodology in order to ensure timely implementation.

3. A technologically neutral approach. Introduction of a new category of vehicle - ’CO2 neutral fuel vehicle’.

4. Reducing the complexity, administrative and implementation costs for manufacturers and authorities. Flexibility for small and ultrasmall producers.

5. Tyres. Alignment with the work performed in the UN World Forum for Harmonisation of Vehicle Regulations (WP29) Task Force on Tyre Abrasion

6. Brakes. Testing methods aligned with UN WFHVR with reducing the complexity of the procedures

7. Batteries. New definition for ‘battery durability’ - the durability of a traction battery measured in terms of its SOCE (state pf certified energy) and SOCR (state of certified range);

9. Sensors and measurement of emissions. Provision stating that the related inducement measures must not lead to endangering of road safety or limiting mobility.

10. Lifetime requirements to be required only in the range of standard usage of the vehicle.

AMENDMENTS

The Committee on Transport and Tourism calls on the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, as the committee responsible, to take the following into account:

Amendment

(1) The internal market is an area in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital must be ensured. To that end Regulation (EU) 2018/858 of the European Parliament and of the Council43 introduced a comprehensive type-approval and market surveillance system for motor vehicles, trailers, and for systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.

Amendment 2

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 4

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(4) The technical requirements for the type-approval of motor vehicles, engines and replacement parts with regard to emissions (‘emission type-approval’) are currently set out in two Regulations that apply to emission type-approval for light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles respectively, i.e. Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council (‘Euro 6’)44 and Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (‘Euro VI’)45 . The reason for having two Regulations was that the emissions of heavy-duty vehicles were checked based on engine testing, while for light-duty vehicles the basis was whole vehicle testing. Since then, methodologies have been developed that allow testing of both light- and heavy-duty vehicles on the road. It is therefore no longer necessary to base type-approval on engine testing.

Amendment

(7) It is also necessary to reduce complexity, administrative and implementation costs for manufacturers and authorities and to ensure effective and efficient implementation of the Euro emission standards. Simplification is achieved by eliminating different application dates for the limits and tests which existed under Euro 6 and Euro VI, by eliminating multiple and complex emission tests where such tests are not needed, by referring to standards under existing UN Regulations where applicable, and by ensuring a streamlined and consistent set of procedures and tests for the various phases of the emission type-approval.

Recital 10

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(10) Regulations (EC) No 715/2007 and (EC) No 595/2009 require that vehicles respect the emission limits for a specified period of time, which does not correspond anymore to the average lifetime of vehicles. It is therefore appropriate to lay down durability requirements that reflect the average expected lifetime of vehicles in the Union.

Amendment 7

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 12

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(12) Non-exhaust emissions consist of particles emitted by tyres and brakes of vehicles. Emissions from tyres is estimated to be the largest source of microplastics to the environment. As shown in the Impact Assessment, it is expected that by 2050, non-exhaust emissions will constitute up to 90% of all particles emitted by road transport, because exhaust particles will diminish due to vehicle electrification. Those non-exhaust emissions should therefore be measured and limited. The Commission should prepare a report on tyre abrasion by the end of 2024 to review the measurement methods and state-of-the-art in order to propose tyre abrasion limits.

Amendment 8

Recital 14

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(14) Vehicles with traction batteries, including plugin hybrids and battery electric vehicles, contribute to the decarbonisation of the road transport sector. In order to gain and increase consumer trust in such vehicles, they should be performant and durable. It is therefore important to require that traction batteries retain a good part of their initial capacity after many years of use. That is of particular importance to buyers of second hand electric vehicles to ensure that the vehicle will continue to perform as expected. Monitors of the battery state-of-health should therefore be required for all vehicles that use traction batteries. In addition minimum performance requirements for battery durability of passenger cars should be introduced, taking into account the UN Global Technical Regulation 2247 .

Amendment 9

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 16

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(16) Sensors installed on vehicles are already used today to detect anomalies on emissions and trigger related repairs through the on-board diagnostic (OBD) system. The OBD system currently in use, however, does not detect accurately or timely the malfunctions and neither does it sufficiently and timely force repairs. As a result, it is possible that vehicles emit much more than they are allowed to do. The sensors used up to now for OBD can also be used to monitor and control the emission behaviour of the vehicles on a continuous basis via an on-board monitoring (OBM) system. The OBM will also warn the user to perform repairs of the engine or the pollution control systems when these are needed. It is therefore appropriate to require that such a system is installed and to regulate its technical requirements.
