Where DM _base is lower than the test mass of vehicle low, TM _L , of the interpolation family, TM _ind shall be replaced by TM _L . Where DM _base is higher than the test mass of vehicle high, TM _H , of the interpolation family, TM _ind shall be replaced by TM _H .

DM _base shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:

DM _base = MRO _base × B ₀ + 25 kg + M _VL

where:

MRO _base

is the mass in running order of the base vehicle as defined in point 3.2.5 of Annex XXI to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151;

B ₀

is the body mass value of [F17 1.387];

M _VL

is the mass representative of the vehicle load, which means 28 per cent of the maximum vehicle load, where maximum vehicle load is defined as the technically permissible maximum laden mass minus the mass in running order of the base vehicle multiplied by B ₀ , minus 25 kg.

The value of B ₀ shall be adjusted by 31 October 2021 on the basis of the mass in running order of the incomplete base vehicles for all completed vehicles registered in calendar years 2018, 2019, and 2020, calculated in accordance with the below formulas. The new B ₀ value shall apply from 1 January 2022 until 31 December 2024.

Formula 1:

where:

A _i

is the value A _y as calculated in Formula 2 for the relevant calendar year

n _i

is the number of incomplete base vehicles related to completed vehicles registered in the calendar year

Formula 2:

where:

A _y

is the average of the ratio between M _fi and M _bi for each of the calendar years 2018 to 2020;

M _fi

is the mass in running order of the incomplete base vehicle increased by the default added mass as defined in Section 5 of Annex XII to Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 [F18 , as it had effect in EU law immediately before IP completion day];

M _bi

is the mass in running order of the incomplete base vehicle;

n

is the number of incomplete base vehicles related to completed vehicles registered in the calendar year.

(b)

Rolling resistance of the individual vehicle

The rolling resistance of the base vehicle shall be used for the purposes of point 3.2.3.2.2.2 or 3.2.4.1.1.2 of Sub-Annex 7 to Annex XXI to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151.

(c)

Frontal area

In the case of an incomplete base vehicle that belongs to a road load matrix family, the manufacturer shall determine the term ‘Af’ referred to in point 3.2.3.2.2.3 of Sub-Annex 7 to Annex XXI to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 in accordance with one of the following options:

(i)

frontal area of the representative vehicle of the road load matrix family, in m ² ;

(ii)

the mean value of the frontal area of vehicle high and vehicle low of the interpolation family, in m ² ;

(iii)

the frontal area of the vehicle high of the interpolation family, in case the interpolation method is not used, in m ² .

In the case of an incomplete base vehicle that does not belong to a road load matrix family, the frontal area value of vehicle high of the interpolation family shall be used.

F4 Substituted by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/22 of 31 October 2019 amending Annexes I and III to Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the monitoring of CO2 emissions from new light commercial vehicles type-approved in a multi-stage process (Text with EEA relevance).

[F4 2. The details referred to in point 1 shall be taken from the certificate of conformity issued by the manufacturer of the relevant light commercial vehicle or be consistent with it. For those details that are not available in the certificate of conformity, details shall be taken from the type approval documentation or from the information reported by the base vehicle manufacturer pursuant to point 1.2.3. [F20 The Secretary of State] shall put the necessary measures in place to ensure adequate accuracy in the monitoring procedure. Where the certificate of conformity specifies both a minimum and a maximum mass for a light commercial vehicle, the [F21 Secretary of State] shall use only the maximum figure for the purpose of this Regulation. [F22 In the case of bi-fuelled vehicles running on petrol and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or on petrol and compressed natural gas (CNG), the certificates of conformity of which include specific emissions of CO₂ values for both types of fuels, the Secretary of State shall use the value for LPG or CNG as the case may be.
