01 September 2020

Title: Decision (EU) 2020/1102 on the approval of the technology used in a 48 Volt efficient motor-generator combined with a 48 Volt/12 Volt DC/DC converter for use in conventional combustion engine and certain hybrid electric passenger cars and light commercial vehicles as an innovative technology pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council and by reference to the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC)

Amends/Commences: Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council and by reference to the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC)

Comes into force: 16th August 2020

Jurisdiction: EU

The technology used in 48 Volt efficient motor-generators combined with 48 Volt/12 Volt DC/DC converters (“the approved technology”), is approved as an innovative technology as outlined in Regulation (EU) 2019/631 setting CO2 emission performance standards for new passenger cars and for new light commercial vehicles. Such innovative technology enables manufacturers and suppliers to help meet CO2 reduction targets.
 
For manufacturers to use the reductions in CO2 from the approved technology towards their targets, they must first have the CO2 savings certified.
