OPINION on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 to define the modalities for reaching the 2020 target to reduce CO2 emissions from new passenger cars

(1a) In view to reduce the risks from fluctuating energy prices, such as from oil shocks or gas shortages, a target of 60 g CO2/km emissions for the new car fleet by 2025 would further improve the continuous drive to improve fuel efficiency beyond 2020 and ultimately make the economy less vulnerable.

(2a) However, studies carried out by the Commission have demonstrated that the test procedures used to measure CO2 emissions under that regulation have not prevented an increased utilisation of flexibilities by manufactures which have resulted in alleged CO2 emission reductions that are not attributed to technological improvements and cannot be achieved in real driving on the road. Therefore, Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 should be reviewed before 2014 in order to ensure that test procedures reflect adequately the real CO2 emissions behaviour of vehicles.

(3) In recognition of the high research and development and unit production costs of early generations of ultra-low carbon vehicles it is appropriate to accelerate and facilitate, on an interim basis and to a limited extent, the process of their introduction into the Union market at their initial stages of commercialization. through accounting electric vehicles as zero emission until 2025.

Article 13 – paragraph 5
By 31 December 2014, the Commission shall review thecarry out a detailed study of the 60 g CO2/km target for 2025, including specific emissions targets, modalities and other aspects of this Regulation in order to establish the CO2 emission targets for new passenger cars for the period beyond 2020ascertain whether the target proves to be appropriate or if a lower target is justified in light of the use of low-emission technologies and their uptake or changes in climate policy objectives. As part of that study, the Commission shall report on upstream emissions of passenger vehicles and may, as appropriate, make proposals as to how such emissions should be taken into account under the Regulation.
