(1) Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 regulates type-approval of motor vehicles with regard to their emissions. The specific technical provisions necessary to implement that Regulation are set out in Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151. 

(2) Following the entry into force of Regulation (EU) 2024/1257 of the European Parliament and of the Council3 , and in order to facilitate implementation and ensure common and harmonised practices at the level of national authorities as regards the registration of new vehicles, the last dates of registration of Euro 6 vehicles should be reflected in Regulation (EU) 2017/1151. 

(3) Similarly, it is necessary to align the Worldwide Harmonised Light-duty Vehicles Test Procedure methodology laid down in Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 with UN Regulation No 1544 regarding vehicles running on hydrogen, in particular regarding CO2 emission measurement. 

(4) In order to ensure consistency and alignment with worldwide harmonised standards, it is necessary to amend current provisions in accordance with UN Regulation No 154. Specifically, for testing the conformity of the vehicle with regard to evaporative emissions and on-board diagnostics, the reference to UN Regulation No 154 for the evaporative emissions test (Type 4 test) and on-board diagnostics systems should prevail, and the conformity of production requirements set out in point 4.6 and 4.7 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 should be deleted. Annexes I and IIIA to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 should be corrected accordingly. 

(5) In order to ensure consistency and alignment with worldwide harmonised standards it is necessary to amend current provisions in accordance with UN Regulation No 1685 . Appendix 1 of Annex IIIA to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 should be revised to ensure that references to the 'Portable emissions measurement system' adhere to the requirements set out in Annex 4 of UN Regulation No 168. Additionally, Appendix 7 should be updated to reflect drift correction calculations as per paragraph 5.0 of Annex 7 to UN Regulation No 168 and the calculation method using air mass flow and air-tofuel ratio as per paragraph 7.3 of Annex 7 to UN Regulation No 168. 

(6) In order to clarify the applicability of the power measurement of electric drive trains, it is appropriate to lay down that both the net engine power and the maximum 30 minutes power should be determined when such electric drive trains are composed of controllers and motors, which are used as the sole mode of propulsion for part of the time (hybrid vehicles). 

(7) In order to provide clarity and align with UN Regulations No 154 and No 168, it is necessary to correct some errors that have been detected in the form of incorrect common references and to ensure the alignment of Article 2 as well as Annexes I and IIIA of Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 with those UN Regulations. 

(8) Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 should therefore be amended and corrected accordingly. (9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Technical Committee – Motor Vehicles,
