EUROPEAN COMMISSION Brussels, 16.12.2024 C(2024) 8671 final COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) …/... of 16.12.2024 amending Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the adjustment of the TM0 values for new passenger cars and new light commercial vehicles (Text with EEA relevance) EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 1. CONTEXT OF THE DELEGATED ACT According to Regulation (EU) 2019/631, the specific CO2 emission targets to be achieved by manufacturers of new passenger cars and new light commercial vehicles from 2025 onwards are set as a function of the average test mass of the manufacturer’s vehicle fleet registered in the target year, as well as the average test mass of the EU-wide vehicle fleet. In order to enhance the predictability of the manufacturer targets, the average test mass (TM0) of the EU-wide vehicle fleet used in the target calculation formulas is not the one in the target year, but rather a reference value, which is based on the average test mass of the fleet in previous calendar years. In order to ensure that the EU fleet-wide emission targets set out in Regulation (EU) 2019/631 continue to be achieved over time, the formula for calculating the specific emission targets should reflect the evolution of the average test mass of new passenger cars and new light commercial vehicles registered in the Union. Therefore, in accordance with Article 14(1)(d) of Regulation (EU) 2019/631, the TM0 values in...
