Book Description

This report presents the results for the work conducted by the JRC as European Commission contribution to the market surveillance and regards emissions from motor vehicles in 2022. Primarily targeted towards the bodies acting in the EU market surveillance, it presents emissions test results and compliance findings, which can lead to corrective actions for the vehicles on the market. This document also discusses lessons learned during the application of testing procedures, with a view to share best practices with the participating authorities and potentially, to draw the path towards future policy updates. The document is structured in three main chapters: the requirements set by Regulations and methodologies for their verification (Part A), the test results and compliance outcome of the activities conducted by the Commission (Part B) and an overview of the main findings (Part C). Part A focuses on the requirements to be fulfilled by the vehicles and provides the main elements, further details being available in the regulatory texts. For some requirements, the verification cannot be made using type-approval procedures (e.g. durability, On-Board Diagnostics). In such cases, ad-hoc procedures are proposed and are likely to be revised on a yearly basis making use of the experience gained. Part B presents the emissions test results and compliance findings for the individual vehicles analysed by the JRC during the year 2022. Part C is a summary of the findings and a tentative to draw recommendations from the lessons learned, with a view to identifying the most critical items (e.g. which requirements have the highest risk not to be fulfilled) and to improving the efficiency of the whole market surveillance testing process.
