Response to Amendment to the CO2 determination regulation for heavy-duty vehicles

1 Aug 2024

SYMBIO, as a Fuel Cell System (FCS) manufacturer, welcomes the introduction of such an amendment to support the growing market of hydrogen mobility and wishes to support the TCMV work with its contribution, despite the very short time let to review the complete technical proposal and homologation process. 1) Hybridization strategy of the vehicles is key to establish FCS vehicle fuel consumption. The amendment proposal does not detail how the vehicle manufacturer strategy is considered to evaluate vehicle hydrogen consumption based on the Fuel Cell System operational point test results. This should be clarified for more transparency, taking into account that such strategies can be protected by Intellectual Property rights. 2) The certification of fuel consumption should apply to both Hybrid Fuel Cell vehicles and Fuel Cell vehicles Table 1 of Appendix 1 of Annex III related to article 9(a) should therefore be modify. 3) Hydrogen quality should also include particle concentration limit of 1 mg/kg as defined in international standards SAE J2719 and ISO 14687. Particulate concentration is critical to avoid Fuel Cell pollution that can lead to either performance drop and/or durability issues. 4) The number of tests for Conformity of Production is based on the total number of fuel cells produced by the manufacturer, regardless of the market or if they are all certified in accordance with this regulation. We recommend defining the CoP number of tests based on the number of systems certified toward regulation (EU) 2017/2400 only. 5) 5% margin for conformity of production test is not enough regarding the maturity of the technology and the chain of measure involved in the test. The threshold must take into account tests reproducibility and repeatability that has to be demonstrate based on the protocol evaluation by fuel cell manufacturers. 6) The application date of January 1st, 2026, for certification of FCS characteristics is not compatible in our opinion with the timeline needed to demonstrate the robustness of the certification and Conformity of Production tests and the test bench investments needed when the test protocol will be finalized. We would propose to introduce an observation and reporting period for 18 months before certification entry into force.
