THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2018/858 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles, amending Regulations (EC) No 715/2007 and (EC) No 595/2009 and repealing Directive 2007/46/EC 1, and in particular Article 4(2), Article 5(3), Article 31(8) and Article 41(5) thereof,
Whereas:
- (1) For the purpose of CO2 certification, as provided in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1362 2, it is necessary to distinguish trailers and semi-trailers from link trailers used in European Modular System (EMS) combinations. In order to take into account technical progress and regulatory developments, new types of bodywork should be added to the list of vehicles of category O as set out in Annex I, Part C, point 5, to Regulation (EU) 2018/858.
- (2) The table set out in Annex II, Part I, to Regulation (EU) 2018/858 contains the list of requirements for EU type-approval of vehicles produced in unlimited series, with a list of corresponding regulatory acts. It is necessary to take into account technological and regulatory developments by updating some of the references in that table setting out the requirements for vehicles, systems, components and separate technical units. In particular, reference to Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 of the European Parliament and of the Council 3 should be introduced. Furthermore, for reasons of legal clarity and simplification, it is appropriate to align the layout of that table to the one contained in Annex II to that Regulation.
- (3) The table set out in Annex II, Part I, Appendix 1, to Regulation (EU) 2018/858 contains the list of regulatory acts for EU type-approval of vehicles produced in small series pursuant to Article 41 of that Regulation. It is necessary to set out the technical requirements for the EU type-approval of such vehicles with respect to the systems provided for in Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 and in the delegated acts and implementing acts adopted pursuant to that Regulation. It is also necessary to set out the requirements that should apply to the EU whole-vehicle type approval of fully automated vehicles produced in small series to allow for a progressive but quick introduction of the technology in line with the application dates set out in Regulation (EU) 2019/2144. As a next stage, the Commission will continue the work to further develop and adopt by July 2024 the necessary requirements for the EU whole vehicle type approval of fully automated vehicles produced in unlimited series.
- (4) The tables set out in Annex II, Part III, Appendices 1 to 6, to Regulation (EU) 2018/858 contain the specific requirements for EU type-approval of special purpose vehicles. Those requirements should be amended to take into account Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 and the delegated acts and implementing acts adopted pursuant to that Regulation.
- (5) When setting out the requirements for vehicles produced in small series or special purpose vehicles, it is necessary to take into account the cases where the requirements provided for vehicles produced in large series are incompatible with the use or design of such vehicles, or where the additional burden imposed by them is disproportionate. For this reason, sufficient lead time should be provided to manufacturers of vehicles produced in small series and of special purpose vehicles to implement the requirements laid down in this Regulation. In addition, those requirements should first apply from 7 July 2024 to new types of vehicles and from 7 July 2026 for all new vehicles.
- (6) In accordance with Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2019/2144, some of the UN Regulations listed in the table set out in Annex II, Part II, to Regulation (EU) 2018/858 should apply for the purposes of EU type-approval. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to recognise such UN Regulations as an alternative to the regulatory acts listed in Part I of that Annex and, consequently, they should be removed from that table.
- (7) On the basis of Council Decision (EU) 2020/848 4, the position taken on behalf of the European Union in the relevant Committees of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe was in favour of UN Regulation No 156 – Uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicles with regards to software update and software update management system [2021/388] 5, with the view to apply it for the purposes of EU type-approval. It is necessary to add UN Regulation No 156 to the list of regulatory acts setting out the requirements for the EU whole-vehicle type-approval. As Annex IV to Regulation (EU) 2018/858 contains the requirements relating to arrangements to ensure conformity of production, it is appropriate to introduce a reference to UN Regulation No 156 in that Annex, as part of the procedures and arrangements that manufacturers are to put in place to ensure the conformity and security of software update.
- (8) With technology development, motor vehicles are becoming increasingly complex using more electronic systems that require regular software update. Since such software update may affect the functioning of other approved systems and functionalities in the vehicles concerned, the manufacturers should establish a software update management system as part of their conformity of production process. Sufficient time should be provided to manufacturers to integrate such systems into the whole-vehicle type-approval and in particular in respect to new complete and new completed vehicles respectively.
- (9) For the purpose of the EU whole-vehicle type-approval of fully automated vehicles of categories M2, M3, N2 and N3, it is necessary to set out in Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2018/858 the quantitative annual limits that should apply to those vehicles.
- (10) Annexes I, II, IV and V to Regulation (EU) 2018/858 should therefore be amended in accordance with the Annexes to this Regulation,
