Auto Industry Urges Reduced Verification Checks for Heavy-Duty Vehicles

Association des Constructeurs Européens d'Automobiles, 16 Mar 2020

ACEA requests limiting vehicle checks to 2% instead of up to 10%, and advocates for a single-step communication of all engine certificates rather than repeated requests. They argue manufacturers cannot exclusively handle verification and correction of cryptographic hash data.
This would reduce administrative burden from multiple verification processes already required.

Spanish Manufacturers Urge Reduced CO2 Data Verification Requirements

ASOCIACIÓN ESPAÑOLA DE FABRICANTES DE AUTOMÓVILES Y CAMIONES, 16 Mar 2020

ANFAC proposes limiting vehicle checks to 2% to minimize additional administrative efforts. They recommend single-step communication of certificates rather than repetitive documentation exercises. Finally, manufacturers should not be solely responsible for correcting cryptographic hash discrepancies.
The proposal would help manufacturers avoid massive, expensive, and time-consuming documentation exercises.
The Commission loses oversight by checking fewer vehicles for CO2 emission data quality.
