OPINION on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 as regards strengthening the CO₂ emission performance standards for new heavy-duty vehicles and integrating reporting obligations, and repealing Regulation (EU) 2018/956

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 8
Recital 8
(8) In order to contribute to the reduction in net greenhouse gas emissions of at least 55 % by 2030 compared to 1990 and in conformity with the energy efficiency first principle, it is necessary to strengthenassess the reduction requirements set out in Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 for heavy-duty vehicles. A clear pathway also needs to be set for further reductions beyond 2030 to contribute to achieving the climate neutrality objective by 2050.

Recital 9
Recital 9
(9) The strengthened CO2 emission reduction requirements should incentivise an increasing share of zero-emission vehicles being deployed on the Union market whilst providing benefits to users and citizens in terms of air quality and energy savings, as well as ensuring that innovation in the automotive value chain can be maintained. Zero-emission vehicles currently include battery electric vehicles, fuel-cell and other hydrogen-powered vehicles, and technological innovations are continuing.

(10) Against that background, new strengthened CO2 emission reduction targets should be set for new heavy-duty vehicles for the period 2030 onwards. Those targets should be set at a level that will deliver a strong signal to accelerateconsistent with the availability of enabling conditions, namely sufficiently dense network of alternative fuels infrastructure, with the aim of promoting the uptake of zero-emission vehicles on the Union market and to stimulate innovation in zero-emission technologies in a cost- efficient way.

Recital 21 – paragraph 5
Recital 21 – paragraph 5
Vocational vehicles, such as garbage trucks, tippers or concrete mixers, should continue to be exempted from the calculation of average specific CO2 emissions of manufacturers. On the other hand, zero-and-Low emission vocational vehicles could be used for the purpose of this Regulation and for the purpose of determining manufacturer’s compliance with its specific CO2 emissions targets.

(28) The zero- and low-emission factor should last be applied for the reporting period of the year 20239, because it is no longer considered necessary after that time as an incein order to contivnue to promote the market entrance of zero-emission vehicles in the HDV sector.

Recital 42 a (new)
(42a) This regulation aims to accelerate the transition towards carbon neutral mobility in a technologically neutral way. As a complement to the efforts towards an increasing availability of zero emission vehicles, a mechanism based on a carbon correction factor is introduced to duly account the contribution from the use of sustainable renewable transport fuels including biofuels, biomass fuels as well as RFNBOs when assessing the compliance with CO2 emissions reductions of newly registered heavy-duty vehicles.

Amendment 279 #
The report shall, where appropriate, be accompanied by a proposal for amending this Regulation. The Commission shall report to the European Parliament and to the Council on the state of the enabling conditions for the market adoption of zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles in the Union. In this report, the Commission shall assess in particular, but not limited to, the following elements: (a) registrations of zero-emission heavy- duty vehicles in Member States, (b) the deployment of charging and refuelling infrastructure suitable for heavy-duty vehicles in Member States [REFERENCE TO XXX AFIR], (c) the implementation of road user charges differentiated by CO2 emissions in Member States [REFERENCE TO XXX Eurovignette] (d) the level of the average price of allowances under the new the emissions trading system covering road transport [REFERENCE TO XXX ETS2] (e) other measures that support the uptake of zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles. Based on the results of the above assessment and on the evidence of lack of any of the above of conditions, the CO2 targets should be reviewed and excess CO2 emissions premiums according to Art. 8 of this Regulation be waived.
