Proposal for a directive
Recital 5
Recital 5
(5) Innovation of new technologies helps to lower vehicle emissions, supporting the decarbonisation of the transport sector. An increased uptake of low- and zero-emission road vehicles is likelywill to reduce emissions of CO2 and certain pollutant emissions (particulate matter, nitrogen oxides and non-methane hydrocarbons) and to promote competitiveness and growth of the European industry in the increasing global markets for low- and zero-emission vehicles.
Amendment 44 #
(6) PTaking into account that government expenditure on goods, works and services represents around 14% of GDP, public authorities, through their procurement policy, can establish and support markets for innovative goods and services. Directives 2014/24/EU24 and 2014/25/EU25 set out minimum harmonised public procurement rules harmonising the way public authorities and certain public utility operators purchase goods, works and services. In particular, they set overall thresholds for the volume of contracts to be subject to Union legislation, which also apply to the Clean Vehicles Directive. _________________ 24 25OJ L 94, 28.3.2014, p. 65 - 242.

Recital 7 a (new)
(7a) The procurement of clean vehicles can leverage the development of the infrastructure necessary for the smart charging of electric vehicles. To further facilitate the market pull for clean vehicles, the present Directive should be amended in conjunction with the Directive for the Energy Performance of Buildings, which requires the pre- equipment of parking spaces and the installation of charging points.

Recital 7 b (new)
Recital 7 b (new)
(7b) The availability of charging and refuelling infrastructure is a prerequisite for any transport operation with alternative fuelled vehicles, including for public transport. Therefore, the aspects of fostering alternative fuels infrastructure for public transport should be strengthened in Directive 2014/94/EU. In the absence of a revision, the Commission shall establish an action plan for public transport infrastructure.

Recital 10 a (new)
Recital 10 a (new)
(10a) In order to achieve an improvement of air quality in municipalities, it is crucial to renew the transport fleet to clean vehicle standard. Furthermore, the principles of the circular economy require the extension of product life. Therefore, the retrofitting of vehicles to clean vehicle standard can also be counted towards the achievement of the minimum procurement targets set out in the Directive.
Amendment 80 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 12
Recital 12
(12) Setting minimum targets for clean vehicle procurement to be achieved by 2025 and by 2030 at Member State level should contribute to policy certainty for markets where investments in low- and zero-emission mobility are warranted. The minimum targets support market creation throughout the Union. They provide time for the adjustment of public procurement processes and give a clear market signal. The Impact Assessment notes that Member States increasingly set targets, depending on their economic capacity and how serious the problem is. Different targets should be set for different Member States in accordance with their economic capacity (Gross Domestic Product per capita) and exposure to pollution (urban population density). Minimum procurement targets should be complemented by the obligation of the contracting authorities, entities and operators to consider relevant energy and environmental aspects in all their procurement procedures. The Territorial Impact Assessment of this amended Directive illustrated that the impact will be evenly distributed among regions in the Union.

Recital 14
Recital 14
(14) Life-cycle costing is an important tool for contracting authorities and entities to cover energy and environmental costs during the life-cycle of a vehicle, including the cost of greenhouse gas emission and other pollutant emissions on the basis of a relevant methodology to determine their monetary value. Given the scarce use of the methodology for the calculation of operational lifetime costs under Directive 2009/33/EU and the information provided by contracting authorities and entities on the use of own methodologies tailored to their specific circumstances and needs, there should be no methodology mandatory to use, but contracting authorities, contracting entities or operators should be able to choose any life-costing methodology in order to support their procurement processes. However, due to the lack of a clear understanding of the overall life-cycle emissions of the various fuel types, the Commission should provide an analysis that will lead to a common Union methodology for manufacturers to report data on CO2 emissions of all fuel types in a consistent manner.

Recital 14
(14) Life-cycle costing is an important tool for contracting authorities and entities to cover energy and environmental costs during the life-cycle of a vehicle, including the cost of greenhouse gas emission and other pollutant emissions on the basis of a relevant methodology to determine their monetary value. Given the scarce usScarce use is made of the methodology for the calculation of operational lifetime costs under Directive 2009/33/EU and, according to the information provided by contracting authorities and entities on the use of, it is their own methodologies tailored to their specific circumstances and needs, there should be no methodology mandatory to use, butat are used instead; nevertheless, to ensure greater clarity at Union level, a mandatory harmonized additional method of calculating total operational lifetime vehicle emissions should be introduced for monitoring and information purposes at least. At the same time, contracting authorities, contracting entities or operators should be able to choose any life-costing methodology in order to support their procurement processes.
Amendment 99 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 16 a (new)
Recital 16 a (new)
(16a) EU financial instruments should be mobilised in order to support Member States at national, regional and local level to achieve the targets under this Directive. Minimum binding targets for charging points per members states, together with direct infrastructure financing and financing of electric vehicle charging points and hydrogen vehicle filling stations should be considered as well, where not commercially viable on their own. For this purpose funding instruments such as the Connecting Europe Facility supporting the development of high performing, sustainable and efficiently interconnected trans-European networks in the fields of transport and the European Fund for Strategic Investments or the Cleaner Transport Facility supporting the deployment of cleaner transport vehicles and their associated infrastructure needs could be mobilised. Advisory Hubs should play a key role in this transition by facilitating and promoting investments and supporting institutional capacities.

Recital 17
Recital 17
(17) In order to achieve the objectives of this Directive, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission in order to update provisions in respect of CO2 emission standards of heavy duty vehicles for a period of five years starting from [Please insert the date of entry into force]in line with the future regulation setting CO2 emission performance standards for new heavy-duty vehicles (COM(2018)284)for a period of five years starting from 1 January 2025. This period should be tacitly extended for periods of the same duration, unless the European Parliament or the Council oppose such an extension. It is of particular importance that the Commission carries out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level. The Commission, when preparing and drawing up delegated acts, should ensure a simultaneous, timely and appropriate transmission of relevant documents to the European Parliament and to the Council.

Recital 18 a (new)
Recital 18 a (new)
(18a) To ensure that public authorities are incentivised to purchase clean vehicles and Member States invest in the deployment of the alternative fuels infrastructure, but also to avoid the risk of such purchases leading to higher prices for passengers, the Union's budgetary and financial policy after 2020 should provide support for contracting entities. That should be reflected in the future Multiannual Financial Framework and the rules regarding sustainable finance and Union financial institutions. Additionally, Member States shall expand the financial and non-financial incentives in order to speed up the market uptake of clean vehicles. These efforts will reduce the initial high investment for the infrastructural changes and help the sector move much faster into the direction promoted by the European Commission. Setting up a European Clean Mobility Fund could help to cover the necessary investments for the establishment of alternative fuels infrastructure and subsequently speed up the uptake of clean vehicles.
Amendment 107 #

Recital 18 a (new)
Recital 18 a (new)
(18a) The requirements of this Directive and the new minimum procurement targets may lead to additional financial resources for contracting authorities. Therefore, it would be appropriate to seek financial mechanisms to implement the requirements of this Directive. The Union's financial policy and in particular the future Multiannual Financial Framework after 2020 should be in line with the new requirements for the promotion of clean and energy efficient road transport vehicles and support the decarbonisation of transport and the use of cleaner road transport vehicles.
