ACEA warns heavy-duty vehicle emission tests could trigger unfair fines

Association des Constructeurs Européens d'Automobiles, 6 Oct 2024

ACEA demands a two-year monitoring period and opposes retroactive rules. They seek to remove additional audits for simulation methods.
This would lower compliance risks and prevent cumulative fines from retroactive regulations.
Regulators and climate targets lose if verification stringency is reduced or delayed.

VDA warns against bureaucratic double auditing of truck emissions

Verband der Automobilindustrie, 10 Oct 2024

End double auditing of variables already certified and introduce an introductory phase. Inform manufacturers before tests to account for customer modifications that alter vehicle performance.
This would lower compliance costs and shield manufacturers from liability for customer-led changes.
Regulators lose the power to conduct unannounced spot checks to verify real-world performance.

Tyre industry urges delay in new emission verification procedures

European Tyre & Rubber Manufacturers' Association, 10 Oct 2024

ETRMA proposes excluding tyres from the act or aligning tolerances with existing standards. They also request a transition period and a reduction in the number of tests required.
Aligning the rules would lower compliance costs and prevent existing products from failing tests.
Truck manufacturers face higher reported emissions data because of increased technical margins for tyres.
