Amending Regulations (EC) No 561/2006, (EU) 2018/858, (EU) 2019/2144 and (EU) 2024/1257 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the simplification of technical requirements and testing procedures for motor vehicles and repealing Council Directive 70/157/EEC and Regulation No 540/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council

Annex I – paragraph -1 (new)

Regulation (EU) 2024/1257

Annex I – Table 1a (new)

Or. en

Justification

While the final version of the Euro 7 Regulation, includes the obligation for M1 and N1 to undergo a cold temperature test in the process of type-approval, the relevant table with the emission limits to be respected has not been inserted, likely by omission. The Commission proposes to delete such testing altogether in type approval, suggesting that Real Driving Emissions (RDE) testing is sufficient as it defines and allows permitted temperature windows for testing purposes across a range (from -7 °C to 38 °C). However, those windows do not constitute mandatory testing conditions and there is accordingly no requirement to conduct an RDE test at -7 °C, and compliance at that temperature therefore remains theoretical rather than demonstrated. The low-temperature laboratory test, by contrast, subjects vehicles to standardised, controlled conditions at -7 °C using the Urban Driving Cycle, enabling repeatable and comparable measurement of cold-start emissions. Cold-start emissions represent a critical phase during which emissions of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HC), in particular from gasoline vehicles, are significantly elevated due to inefficient after-treatment system operation prior to warm-up, and account for a large proportion of total urban emissions. It is therefore appropriate to maintain the low-temperature laboratory test obligation in Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2024/1257 and reintroduce appropriate emission limit values for CO and HC. The Impact Assessment accompanying the Euro 7 proposal took technological progress into account and demonstrated the feasibility to reduce tailpipe emissions far below Euro 6 levels (by 90% or more for key pollutants). Policy option 2 of the IA considers two stringency levels of stricter pollutant emission limits (called medium ambition and high ambition emission limits) to provide up-to-date limits for all relevant air pollutants (-50% and -66%). It is proposed that the limit values for cold temperature test for CO and HC are reduced by 66% as compared to the Euro 6 figures.

Justification

The communication and physical interconnection of pure electric vehicles (PEV) and off-vehicle charging hybrid electric vehicles (OVC-HEV) with the charging infrastructure, the electricity grid, and the stationary power systems capable of supporting smart and bidirectional charging functionalities is already indirectly guaranteed through the AFIR regulation. It is the network code certification on EU level, not on national level, that is the missing link in ensuring interoperability and V2G readiness while avoiding regulatory duplication.Under this proposal, network code compliance would be verified during vehicle type approval, indirectly ensuring ISO 15118_20 compatibility and offering a pragmatic, balanced compromise between regulatory objectives and technical feasibility for manufacturers.

Justification

These amendments relate to brake emissions limits for heavy and light duty vehicles. Because a 90% CO2 reduction target allows internal combustion and hybrid vehicles to remain available after 2035, the proposed brake particle emission limits must be overhauled to accommodate various powertrain technologies rather than just plug-in electric vehicles. Furthermore, future limits for heavy-duty vehicles must balance urban and suburban driving impacts with the rapid rise of electrified fleets on a cost-benefit basis, aligned with the review of Regulation (EU) 2024/1257

Or. en

Justification

Heavy-duty brake emission limits should apply from 2034/2035 rather than 2030, due to delays in developing and validating UNECE test procedures and the long, safety-critical development cycle for HDV brake systems. Monitoring can begin once testing methods are finalised, allowing technical experience and data to support limits set by 2029 for application from 2035. Future limits should also reflect continued ICE and hybrid vehicle use after 2035 and focus on urban and suburban HDVs, where brake particle emissions are most relevant, while considering increasing electrification.

Justification

To maintain a high level of environmental protection while avoiding redundant physical testing, the legal obligation to comply with low-temperature emission limits should be preserved by reintroducing Euro 6 low-temperature emission limits.

This amendment constitutes a technical correction rather than a new policy measure. It restores legal clarity and enforceability of low-temperature emission requirements, ensures continuity and international harmonisation, and prevents an unintended weakening of environmental protection compared with Euro 6. By codifying these limit values directly in Annex I, the Regulation provides a clear reference for compliance assessment and market surveillance, while supporting the simplification objectives of the Automotive Omnibus by allowing streamlined demonstration of conformity without introducing additional or more stringent technical requirements.

Regulation (EU) 2024/1257

Annex III – Table 1

Or. en

Justification

For the low-temperature test, simplification is achieved by replacing type-approval testing with a manufacturer’s declaration.

Regulation (EU) 2024/1257

Annex III – Table 1

Or. en

Justification

Reducing the Utility Factor (UF) now would raise regulatory CO₂ values for PHEVs, weakening their role in compliance, investment, and industrial planning. PHEVs deliver real-world CO₂ reductions and support electrification and EU competitiveness. Electric driving depends on infrastructure, energy costs, incentives, and consumer behaviour. Tightening the UF too early risks slowing fleet renewal and keeping older, higher-emitting vehicles on the road. For low-temperature emissions, testing is replaced by a manufacturer declaration, while compliance remains based on the Euro 6 type-6 test under UN Regulation No. 83.

Proposal for a regulation

Annex I – paragraph -1 (new)

Justification

Freezing the Utility Factor avoids premature adjustments based on still-evolving real-world evidence. It allows time for more robust data collection and assessment methodologies, including on-board fuel consumption monitoring, as well as further charging infrastructure deployment. It therefore preserves the climate contribution and industrial role of PHEVs during the transition to zero-emission mobility.

Annex III – Table 1

Or. en

Justification

Tightening the Utility Factor now would be a premature and damaging blow to a technology that is still delivering. By inflating type-approval CO₂ values, a tighter UF strips PHEVs of their compliance tool value — making them economically unviable for OEMs and undermining existing investment decisions. PHEVs reduce real-world CO₂ emissions, offer consumers a credible bridge to full electrification, and support export-competitive manufacturing — 40% of EU-produced PHEVs are sold on global markets. The Commission's own Impact Assessment, accompanying the Revision for CO2 emission standards for cars and vans (Annex 8, p.78), explicitly frames PHEVs as a driver of competitiveness, noting that keeping PHEVs integral to the regulatory framework would "further stimulate development in the technology and eventually support even more the competitiveness of European manufacturers. "Tightening the UF contradicts that finding.

Annex I – paragraph -1 (new)

Regulation (EU) 2024/1257

Annex III – Table 1

Or. en

Justification

For the low temperature test, simplification is achieved by replacing type-approval testing with a manufacturer’s declaration. However, for this declaration clarity is required that the basis of compliance is that carried over from Euro 6, i.e. the type-6 test described in UN Regulation No 83.

Justification

Tightening the Utility Factor now would damage a technology still delivering results. Inflated type approval CO₂ values would strip PHEVs of compliance value, making them less viable for OEMs despite reducing real world emissions and supporting export competitive manufacturing, with 40% of EU built PHEVs exported. The Commission’s own Impact Assessment says PHEVs support EU competitiveness. A UF freeze protects investment, consumer choice, and a coherent transition.

Annex V – Table 1

Or. en

Justification

Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1706 recognises that CO₂ emissions and fuel or energy consumption parameters, including OBFCM-related verification procedures, are already subject to dedicated in-service monitoring arrangements. For light-duty vehicles, Regulation (EU) 2023/2866 establishes a specific framework for monitoring CO₂ and energy consumption data, ensuring coherence and avoiding overlapping compliance mechanisms. Furthermore, CO₂ emissions are not regulated through Not-To-Exceed (NTE) limits under either the Euro 7 framework or the CO₂ standards legislation. Compliance is instead ensured through fleet-average targets and dedicated monitoring mechanisms rather than individual vehicle conformity testing. Avoiding overlapping in-service conformity requirements therefore supports a more coherent, proportionate and legally consistent implementation framework while preventing unnecessary duplication of regulatory obligations.

Regulation (EU) 2024/1257 (Euro 7) largely carries over the Euro 6 framework, including Euro 6 limits and WLTP/RDE procedures. However, the Euro 6 –7 °C Type 6 low-temperature test was listed in Euro 7 without transposing its procedure and limits, creating legal uncertainty. The amendment keeps the Euro 6 low-temperature limits (UNR83) but replaces physical testing with a manufacturer declaration, preserving enforceability, alignment, and simplification.

Justification

The proposed deletion would unintentionally weaken the Euro 7 framework compared to Euro 6. The amendment therefore maintains the Euro 6 low-temperature limits but replaces the physical test by a manufacturer with a declaration of conformity. This preserves environmental protection and international alignment. The amendment nevertheless continues to focus on simplification, as it avoids unnecessary duplicate testing.

Justification

The proposed amendment clarifies that the dedicated low-temperature laboratory test is no longer required at type-approval, while maintaining the underlying legal obligation to comply with low-temperature emission limits as carried over from Euro 6. Compliance would be demonstrated through a manufacturer declaration of conformity, ensuring that low-temperature emission performance remains legally enforceable, aligned with international regulations, and subject to market surveillance, without duplicating physical testing.

Delays in developing the UNECE heavy-duty brake test cycle leave insufficient time for validation before 2030. Brake emissions should therefore be monitored first, once test procedures and vehicle-level methodologies are finalised, to support evidence-based limits from 2035. Tables 6 and 7 are replaced by a monitoring and review approach. For light-duty vehicles, the 3 mg/km limit is revised to reflect the continued presence of ICE and hybrid vehicles after 2035. Heavy-duty limits should account for vehicle category, duty cycle, powertrain and cost-benefit considerations.

Justification

Under Regulation (EU) 2023/443 a revised utility factor applies from 1 January 2027, lowering the assumed electric-driving share of plug-in hybrids from about 54% to 36%. Plug-in hybrid technology has progressed substantially in electric range, so the 2027 parameters no longer reflect state-of-the-art vehicles. Freezing the 2025/2026 reference distances (dneb/dnec = 2 200 km) keeps official figures realistic and supports continued investment in this technology during the transition and beyond 2035.

Freezing the Utility Factor avoids premature adjustments based on still-evolving real-world evidence. It allows time for more robust data collection and assessment methodologies, including on-board fuel consumption monitoring, as well as further charging infrastructure deployment. It therefore preserves the climate contribution and industrial role of PHEVs during the transition to zero-emission mobility

Annex XXI – Table A8-Appendix 5/1

Justification

In order to determine the range in electric mode of hybrid vehicles with external recharging systems (plug in hybrid vehicles) Utility Factors (UF) apply. According to Regulation (EU) 2023/443 a new UF should apply as from 1st January 2027. Given the ongoing progress of the plug-in hybrid technology and its value to the European supply chain, related jobs and technological knowledge we believe that a further tightening of the UF would prematurely end investments into a technology which has so much more potential for Europe. In order to promote this technology and allow industry to continue to invest in it, it is proposed to freeze the current UF.
