Recital 4
(4) Greenhouse gas emissions from lorries, buses and coaches, i.e. heavy-duty vehicles, currently represent around a quarter of road transport emissions in the Union and are expected to increase further by 2030, if no additional measures are taken, are expected to account for 30 % of the total road transport CO2 emissions by 2030. Emissions from heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) will increase by 10 % between 2010 and 2030, and by 17 % from 2010 to 2050 unless taken action to prevent it. Effective measures to curb emissions from heavy-duty vehicles need to be introduced in order to contribute to the necessary emission reductions in the transport sector.

Recital 6 a (new)
(6a) Transport companies are to a large extent small and medium-sized enterprises and operate only a few vehicles. Moreover, they do not have access yet to standardised information to evaluate fuel efficiency technologies or to compare vehicles in order to make the best- informed purchasing decisions and reduce their fuel bills, which can account for more than a quarter of their operating costs.

Recital 7
Recital 7
(7) Information on a vehicle’s performance in terms of CO2 emissions and fuel consumption should be made publicly available to enable all vehicle operators to take well-informed purchasing decisions. All vehicle manufacturers will be able to compare their vehicles’ performance with those of other makes. This will increase the incentives for innovation, drive the development towards more energy efficient vehicles and therefore increase competitiveness. That information will also provide policy makers at Union and Member State level with a sound basis for developing policies to promote the uptake of more energy-efficient vehicles. It is therefore appropriate that the CO2 emissions and fuel consumption values determined for each new heavy-duty vehicle pursuant to Commission Regulation (EU) […/…]15 [Opoce to include correct reference] are monitored, reported to the Commission and made available to the public. _________________ 15 Commission Regulation (EU) […/…] implementing Regulation (EU) No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the determination of CO2 emissions and fuel consumption of heavy-duty vehicles and amending Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 (OJ L…,..,..).

Recital 11
(11) It is important to ensure that the data monitored and reported is robust and reliable. The Commission should therefore have the means to verify and, where necessary, to correct the final data. Where the verification by the Commission of the correctness and quality of the data reported reveals non-compliance with any of the requirements laid down in this Regulation, the Commission should be able to impose an administrative fine on the manufacturer concerned for infringement of this Regulation. The administrative fine should be effective, proportionate and dissuasive. Parameters allowing the data to be adequately traced and verified should therefore also be provided for in the monitoring requirements.

Recital 12
(12) Based on the experience gained from the monitoring and reporting of data on CO2 emissions pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council16 for new passenger cars and Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council17 for new light commercial vehicles, it is appropriate to confer on the European Environment Agency the responsibility for the exchange of the data with the competent authorities of the Member States and manufacturers, as well as for the management of the final database , which should be accessible to transport operators and third parties free of charge and in a digitally researchable format, on behalf of the Commission. It is also appropriate to align as far as possible the monitoring and reporting procedures for heavy-duty vehicles with those already existing for light-duty vehicles. _________________ 16 Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 of 23 April 2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council setting emission performance standards for new passenger cars as part of the Community’s integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles, OJ L 140, 5.2.2009, p.1. 17 Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 of 11 May 2011 setting emission performance standards for new light commercial vehicles as part of the Union’s integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles, OJ L 145, 31.5.2011, p.1.
