Recital 5
Recital 5
(5) All sectors of the economy are expected to contribute to achieving those emission reductions, including the road transport sector, which is the only sector in the EU in which emissions have been trending upwards since the 1990s. The Green Deal has set the ambitious target of a 90% reduction in transport emissions in order to achieve carbon neutrality in the EU by 2050.

(5a) While the review of this regulation forms part of efforts to meet the environmental objectives of decarbonising road transport in order to combat climate change, it should also take into account the significant industrial and social consequences of this process to ensure employment and accessible mobility for all.

Recital 10 a (new)
(10a) The principle of technological neutrality is fundamental to ensure there is efficiency and a plurality of solutions, to preserve and fasten innovation and development, including in disruptive technologies, and to allow market flexibility and a diverse range of social behaviours. It is thus important that we do not limit road transport to a single technology but rather encourage innovation and complementarities between efficient alternative technologies, such as the combined use of hybrid vehicles and low-carbon fuels. Furthermore, a ‘one size fits all’ approach at European level would be compromised by the wide economic, social, geographical and infrastructural diversity within and between Member States, whereas a mix of complementary technologies allows each region to implement the solutions it deems most appropriate to reduce its emissions.

Recital 10 a (new)
(10a) Complimentary to the efforts of this regulation towards increasing the availability and uptake of zero-emission vehicles, a carbon correction factor should be introduced to properly reflect the contribution of the use of CO2 neutral fuels, such as biofuels, biogas, biomass fuels and synthetic fuels, when assessing the compliance with CO2 emissions reductions of newly registered heavy-duty vehicles.

Recital 11 – paragraph 1
The updated New Industrial Strategy14 foresees the co-creation of green and digital transition pathways in partnership with industry, public authorities, social partners and other stakeholders. In this context, a transition pathway is being developed for the mobility ecosystem to accompany the transition of the automotive value chain. The pathway takes particular heed of small and medium-sized enterprizses in the automotive supply chain, of the consultation of social partners including by Member States, and also build on the European Skills Agenda with initiatives like the Pact for Skills to mobilise the private sector and other stakeholders to up-skill and re-skill Europe’s workforce in view of the green and digital transitions and on the Talent Booster Mechanism in the framework of the Harnessing Talents in EU regions initiative. The appropriate actions and incentives at the European and national level to boost the affordability of zero- emission vehicles are also being addressed in the pathway. This could, for example, include the possibility for Member States to use the proposed Social Climate Fund to assist micro-enterprises in the purchasing of zero-emission trucks and lorries. Particular attention should be also given to the impact that this transition will have on SMEs along the supply chain. __________________ 14 Commission Communication on Updating the 2020 New Industrial Strategy: Building a stronger Single Market for Europe’s recovery, COM(2021) 350 final of 5 May 2021.

Recital 15
(15) Due to the heterogeneous structure of the total truck fleet, it is not possible to fully predict whether for all niche uses, technological developments will be quick enough to ensure that zero-emission tailpipe technology is a viable choice. This may include uses such as extra heavy duty vehicles and long-haul heavy- duty vehicles in specific territorial morphology and meteorological circumstances, coaches and lorries for critical security and safety applications that cannot be fulfilled by zero-emission tailpipe technologies. The vehicles in question should constitute a limited share of the entire heavy-duty vehicle fleet. In view of such considerations, some margin in the 2040 target should be left to accommodate developments in technology yet to occurthe review of this regulation should take into account the technological development of these vehicles in a possible review of the targets.

Recital 15 a (new)
Recital 15 a (new)
(15a) Extra heavy combinations (EHC) are vehicles with above standard masses and often also dimensions. They have increased energy efficiency gains and lowered relative fuel use due to higher payloads compared to average EU trucks. However, in the current calculation formula related to the CO2 HDV targets, this is not taken into account. In order to correct this and reflect the EHC emissions more realistically, the calculation formula should be modified accordingly.

(18) The possibility of assigning the rRevenue from the excess emission premiums to a specific fund or relevant programme has been evaluated as required pursuant to Article 15(4) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1242, with the conclusion that this would significantly increase the administrative burden, while not directly benefit the automotive sector in its transition. Revenue from the excess emission premiums should therefore continue to be considered as revenue for the general budget of the Union in accordance with Article 8(4) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1242should be considered as revenue assigned to the Innovation Fund in order to support the development of innovative technologies, which is key for the green transition of the automotive sector.

A delay of the 100% target to 2035 is thus preferable. Additionally, only vehicles with urban mission profiles should be covered by Article 3b. Busses of classes 31-L2, 33-L2 on the other hand are mostly used for interurban missions and should thus be included in Article 3a.
