NEW DEFINITION IN THE DRAFT AMENDMENT
Small series scheme I apply provided that: the vehicle type is not based on or derived from a vehicle produced in large series, including those for EU or third markets; and the manufacturer’s combined number of units, of all its categories M and N vehicle types registered, made available on the market or entered into service annually in the Union does not exceed 1500.
Small series scheme II refers to situations other than those defined by "Scheme I".
It is important to note that the small series vehicles quantity limit of 1500 defined in Scheme I includes all types of M and N vehicles that the manufacturer puts into the EU market each year, not for a specific type. Scheme I limits the number of vehicles a manufacturer can put on the EU market, and also restricts the type from being a unlimited series type.
