Selection of families
Article 3
1. When selecting vehicles in accordance with Article 3 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1127, the granting approval authority shall select vehicles from VTP families, ISV air drag families, CFD families and ISV tyre families, on the basis of the risk of a deviation in the CO 2 emission values of the vehicles with certain components, separate technical units or systems or tyres of those families, as assessed by the Commission in accordance with paragraph 2 of this Article and reported in accordance with paragraph 3 of this Article. The granting approval authority shall also ensure that vehicles from a VTP family or tyres from an ISV tyre family are not being tested by another granting approval authority in the same in-service verification reporting period. 2. When assessing the risk of a deviation in the CO 2 emission values referred to in paragraph 1, first subparagraph, the Commission shall take into account at least the following elements, when available: (a) the total number of new vehicles from the VTP family, ISV air drag family and ISV tyre family that have been placed on the Union market; (b) the data from vehicles belonging to certain VTP families, ISV air drag families and ISV tyre families with similar technical characteristics but with lower CO 2 emissions, identified using the data collected pursuant to Article 1 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/1430 ( 7 ) ; (c) evidence of a deviation in the CO 2 emission values obtained by the Commission, or received from another type-approval authority, a market surveillance authority, or a third party complying with the requirements of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/163 ( 8 ) ; (d) the results of previous in-service verifications, and in particular the findings related to the presence of artificial strategies; (e) relevant information from tests performed and reported to the Commission pursuant to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/1430 and from conformity of production tests performed pursuant to Section 4 of Annex X to Regulation (EU) 2017/2400; (f) real-world fuel consumption data. 3. Each year, by 30 June, the Commission shall publish a report containing a list of VTP families, ISV air drag families, CFD families and ISV tyre families with the highest risk of a deviation in the CO 2 emission values. The report shall also describe the methodology used for the assessment referred to in paragraph 1, first subparagraph, undertaken in the reporting period the report concerns, and the main findings of that assessment.
