The Heavy Duty Vehicles (Emissions and Fuel Consumption) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019

Jurisdiction:  

Commencement:   Exit day

Amends:   Regulation (EU) 2018/956 on the monitoring and reporting of CO2 emissions from and fuel consumption of new heavy-duty vehicles

 

Amendment

This amendment comes into force on the day the UK leaves the European Union (EU). 

Amendments are made to ensure the monitoring and reporting of CO2 emissions from, and fuel consumption of, heavy duty vehicles (HDVs), laid out in Regulation (EU) 2018/956 on the monitoring and reporting of CO2 emissions from and fuel consumption of new heavy-duty vehicles, can function following exit day. The main focus of these amendments is ensuring that the EU Regulation will apply to HDVs registered in the UK and transferring responsibilities from the European Commission (EC) to the Secretary of State.

The obligations of UK manufacturers will remain largely the same following exit day, with a few exceptions. The responsibility to report the data listed in Part A of Annex I is now with the manufacturer and not the EU Member State. All data collected is now to be reported to the Secretary of State and not the EC.
