Commission clarifies applicability of transition engine extension for agricultural and forestry vehicles

***

The delegated act confirms the alignment of the requirements relating to emission limits and EU type-approval procedures for agricultural and forestry vehicles as well as for their engines with Regulation (EU) 2020/1040 of the European Parliament and of the Council, which extended the transition period provided for in Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 by 12 months for certain engine sub-categories.

It should be noted that NRMM and tractors fitted with transition engines between 56kW and 130kW built in 2019 are not affected by this extension and retain the applicable 2021 deadlines.
