of 17 August 2009
amending, for the purposes of adapting it to technical progress, Directive 97/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on certain components and characteristics of two or three-wheel motor vehicles
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2002/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 March 2002 relating to the type-approval of two and three-wheel motor vehicles and repealing Council Directive 92/61/EEC (1), and in particular Article 17 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Directive 97/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 1997 on certain components and characteristics of two or three-wheel motor vehicles (2) is one of the separate Directives for the purposes of the two and three-wheel motor vehicles EC type-approval procedure laid down by Directive 2002/24/EC. |
(2) |
In order to take into account the specific behaviour of hybrid vehicles, the type-approval test procedure used for measuring gaseous pollutants from two and three-wheel vehicles should be adapted. For this purpose, it is appropriate to adopt a procedure similar to the one used in UNECE Regulation No 83 on Emission of pollutants according to engine fuel requirements. |
(3) |
To ensure that hybrid vehicles comply with the noise limits set out in Directive 97/24/EC in all their running modes it is also necessary to adapt the type-approval test procedure used for noise measurement set out in Directive 97/24/EC. |
(4) |
Directive 97/24/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. |
(5) |
The measures provided for this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Adaptation to Technical Progress, |
