9 Amendments of Maria GRAPINI related to 2018/0143(COD)
Amendment 12 #
(3) This Regulation is part of the third "Europe on the Move" Package, which delivers on the new industrial policy strategy of September 201721, and is designed to complete the process of enabling the Union to reap the full benefits of the modernisation and decarbonisation of mobility. The aim of the Package is to make European mobility safer and more accessible, European industry more competitive, European jobs more secure, and the mobility system to be cleaner and better adapted to the imperative of tackling climate change in line with the provisions of the Paris Agreement. This will require the full commitment of the Union, Member States and stakeholders, not least in strengthening efforts to reduce CO2 emissions and air pollution. _________________ 21 Investing in a smart, innovative and sustainable Industry A renewed EU Industrial Policy Strategy, COM(2017) 0479 final

Recital 8 b (new)
(8b) In view of the estimated increase to around 9% in the proportion of emissions from heavy duty vehicles and the fact that there are currently no requirements for reducing CO2 emissions from heavy duty vehicles, specific measures for this category of vehicles are needed.

(11a) Emission reduction levels to be achieved by heavy vehicles and the time required for renewal of the fleet should be taken into account.

Recital 15
(15) A reduction target should be set for 2025 as a relative reduction based on the average CO2 emissions of those heavy-duty vehicles in 2019, reflecting the deployment of readily available, accessible, cost- effective technologies for conventional vehicles. The 2030 target should be considered aspirational and the final target should be determined pursuant to a review to be carried out in 2022 as there are more uncertainties on the uptake of more advanced technologies which are not yet readily available.

(16) Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is an available alternative fuel to diesel for heavy duty vehicles. The deployment of current and upcoming more innovative LNG-based technologies will contribute to meeting the CO2 emission targets in the short and medium term as the use of LNG technologies leads to lower CO2 emissions as compared to diesel vehicles. The CO2 emission reduction potential of LNG vehicles is already fully reflected in VECTO. In addition, current LNG technologies ensure a low level of air pollutant emissions such as NOx and particulate matters. A sufficient minimum refuelling infrastructure is also in place and being further deployed as part of national policy frameworks for alternative fuel infrastructure.

Recital 19
Recital 19
(19) A fair distribution of the overall reduction requirements among the manufacturers needs to be ensured, taking into account the diversity of heavy-duty vehicles in terms of their design and driving pattern, annual mileage, payload and trailer configuration. It is therefore appropriate to distinguish the heavy-duty vehicles according to different and separate vehicle sub-groups that reflect the vehicles’ typical usage pattern and specific technical characteristics. By setting annual manufacturer specific targets as a weighted average of the targets defined for each such sub-group, manufacturers are also given the means to effectively balance a possible underperformance of vehicles in certain sub-groups with an overachievement in other vehicle sub-groups, taking into account the average lifetime CO2 emissions of vehicles in the different sub-groups, thereby respecting the ‘polluter pays’ principle.

Recital 21
(21) Contrary to cars and vans, zero- and low-emission heavy-duty vehicles are not yet available on the market, except for buses. A dedicated mechanism, in the form of super credits, should therefore be introduced to facilitate and encourage a smooth transition towards zero-emission mobility. This will provide incentives for the development and deployment on the Union market of zero- and low-emission heavy-duty vehicles that would complement demand-side instruments, such as the Clean Vehicle Directive 2009/33/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council26. _________________ 26 Directive 2009/33/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the promotion of clean and energy-efficient road transport vehicles as amended by Directive …/…/EU [COM(2017) 653 final] (OJ L 120, 15.5.2009, p. 5).

Recital 23
(23) Low-emission heavy-duty vehicles should only be incentivised if their CO2 emissions are less than about half ofon a differentiated basis in line with their CO2 emission levels, which should be less than the average EU CO2 emissions for 2025. This is consistent with the approach taken for light-duty vehicles and would incentivise innovation in this field.

Article 9 – paragraph 1
Article 9 – paragraph 1
(1) Type approval authorities in each Member State shall, without delay, report to the Commission deviations found in the CO2 emissions of heavy-duty vehicles in service as compared to those values that are indicated in certificates of conformity or in the customer file as a result of verifications performed in accordance with the procedure referred to in [Article 5(4)(l)] of Regulation (EC) No 595/2009.
