Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1590 of 19 August 2020 amending Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council in order to take into account the evolution of the mass of new light commercial vehicles registered in 2016, 2017 and 2018 (Text with EEA relevance)
Executive Summary:
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1590 amends Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2019/631, adjusting the M value used to calculate specific CO2 emission targets for new light commercial vehicles. This adjustment reflects the evolution of the average mass of newly registered light commercial vehicles in 2016, 2017, and 2018. The regulation entered into force twenty days after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Key Points / Main Content:
* **Amendment to Regulation (EU) 2019/631:**
* Annex I, Part B, point 4 of Regulation (EU) 2019/631 is amended.
* The 'M' value (average mass in running order) is updated.
* **Updated 'M' Value:**
* M is 1 766,4 in 2020.
* M is 1 825,23 for the years 2021, 2022 and 2023.
* For 2024, the value will be adopted pursuant to point b of Article 14(1).
Impact Analysis:
* **Manufacturers of New Light Commercial Vehicles:**
* *Impact:* Specific CO2 emission targets will be calculated using the updated 'M' value, affecting compliance requirements.
* *Action Required:* Manufacturers need to adjust their strategies to meet emission targets based on the new 'M' value when manufacturing new light commercial vehicles in the EU.
* **European Commission:**
* *Impact:* Responsible for monitoring and enforcing the updated regulation.
* *Action Required:* Ensure the implementation and application of the amended regulation across all Member States.
* **Member States:**
* *Impact:* Directly affected by the regulation and responsible for its application.
* *Action Required:* Implement the regulation and ensure its enforcement within their respective jurisdictions.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2019 setting CO

emission performance standards for new passenger cars and for new light commercial vehicles and repealing Regulations
(EC) No 443/2009 and (EU) No 510/2011(1), and in particular Article 14(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The EU fleet-wide average mass in running order used for the purpose of calculating the specific emission targets of
CO for each manufacturer of new light commercial vehicles, i.e. the M value, is to be adjusted regularly to take into
2 0
account changes in the average mass of the new light commercial vehicles registered in the Union.
(2) Based on the data in Commission Implementing Decisions (EU) 2018/143(2), (EU) 2019/582(3) and (EU)
2020/1035(4), the average mass in running order of new light commercial vehicles in the calendar years 2016,
2017 and 2018, weighted according to the number of new registrations in each of those years, was 1 825,23 kg.
The M value for the calendar years 2021, 2022 and 2023, referred to in point 4 of Part B of Annex I to Regulation
0
(EU) 2019/631 should therefore reflect that mass.
(3) Regulation (EU) 2019/631 should therefore be amended accordingly,
