(4) The Commissions Communications "Europe on the move"17 and "Delivering on the European Strategy for low-emission mobility A European Union that protects the planet, empowers its consumers, and defends its industry and workers"18 highlight that the CO2 emissions standards for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles are a strong driver for innovation and efficiency and will contribute to strengthening competitiveness of the automotive industry and pave the way for zero and low-emission vehicles in a technology-neutral way. Nevertheless, the market share of clean vehicles remains small and the vast majority of European cars are still powered by gasoline or diesel engines. For these reasons, providing EU consumers with sustainable and affordable options will therefore require a holistic approach, which includes support for the uptake of clean vehicles both in the private and public sectors, as well as accelerating the deployment of alternative infrastructure. _________________ 17 Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions EUROPE ON THE MOVE An agenda for a socially fair transition towards clean, competitive and connected mobility for all (COM(2017) 283 final). 18 Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions […]

Recital 12
(12) IWhile it is important that the setting of CO2 emissions reduction requirements continues to provide Union -wide predictability and planning security for vehicle manufacturers across their new car and light commercial vehicle fleets in the Union, the ‘Dieselgate’ crisis has demonstrated that stricter oversight of the market is necessary to achieve the Union's targets for decarbonisation and restore the public's confidence in the industry. To achieve these goals, as well as to co- ordinate better the work carried by national surveillance bodies, a dedicated European Agency for road transport should be set up.

Recital 22
(22) The aim of this Regulation is to create incentives for the automotive industry to invest in new technologies and reduce real world emissions. This Regulation actively promotes eco- innovation and provides a mechanism that should be able to acknowledge future technological development. Experience shows that eco-innovations have successfully contributed to the cost- effectiveness of Regulations (EC) No 443/2009 and (EU) No 510/2011 and to the reduction of real world CO2 emissions. This modality should therefore be maintained and the scope should be extended to incentivise efficiency improvements in air-conditioning systems.
