Amendment 23 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5 a (new)
Recital 5 a (new)
(5 a) Most greenhouse gases related to transport and logistics are emitted during the vehicle operation, production of an energy carrier and the manufacturing of a vehicle.
Amendment 24 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5 b (new)
Recital 5 b (new)
(5 b) Greenhous gas emissions of vehicle manufacturing, maintenance and disposal contribute significantly to the total life cycle emissions of a vehicle.
Amendment 25 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5 c (new)
Recital 5 c (new)
(5 c) Counting emissions from the construction and dismantling of energy production infrastructure related to renewable energies such as solar cell, windmill and hydropower production and construction is necessary to allow a fair comparison between all renewable energy carriers.
Amendment 26 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5 d (new)
Recital 5 d (new)
(5 d) Adding the contribution of emissions from the construction and dismantling of infrastructure to produce energy from fossil fuels, renewables or nuclear energy is relevant for a holistic comparison of all available energy carriers for transport operations.
Amendment 27 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5 e (new)
Recital 5 e (new)
(5 e) Data for vehicles construction is not easily available from vehicle manufacturers, in particular from those located outside the Union. Nonetheless, this characteristic is relevant since it enables to account for the entire spectrum of emissions related to a transport activity while addressing carbon leakage with regards to the manufacturing of vehicles.
Amendment 33 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6 a (new)
Recital 6 a (new)
(6 a) In order to allow companies, customers and individuals to compare different modes of transport according to their respective greenhouse gas emissions, the Commission should develop a methodolgy which allows to include greenhouse gas emmissions of vehicle construction, maintenance and disposal by 2028.
Amendment 56 #

Recital 12
Recital 12
(12) EN ISO standard 14083:2023, published by the European Committee for Standardisation57 in April 2023, and transposing ISO standard 14083:2023, was chosen to be the reference methodology for calculating greenhouse gas emissions of transport services under this Regulation. The analysis showed that ISO standard 14083:2023 proved to be the most relevant and proportional in addressing the objectives of this Regulation. The quantification of emissions is performed on a well-to-wheel basis, which includes greenhouse gas emissions stemming from energy provision and vehicle use during transport and hub operations. This omits emissions stemming from the production, maintenance and disposal of vehicles and is therefore incomplete. _________________ 57 https://www.cencenelec.eu
Amendment 67 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13 a (new)
Recital 13 a (new)
(13 a) In order to avoid competitive disadvantages for vehicles and materials produced in Europe, the Commission, should include emissions stemming from the production and disposal of vehicles. The Commission should, in cooperation with Member States, request the European Committee for Standardisation to revise the standard accordingly, once the methodology is developed.
Amendment 113 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 28 a (new)
Recital 28 a (new)
(28 a) Greenhouse gas emissions accounting based on primary data may reveal the amount of fuel or energy consumed that is related to the assignments of specific customers, and therefore emissions can be reversely converted into the cost of operation. Especially in the freight transport sector, this negatively affects the negotiating power of SMEs. Therefore, large enterprises should not be allowed to request greenhouse gas emissions based on primary data from value chain partners, in particular from SMEs.
Amendment 142 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point 17 a (new)
Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point 17 a (new)
(17 a) "transport emissions" means emissions representing the greenhouse gas impact of a transport service stemming from: - "tank-to wheel emissions" - "energy carrier emissions" - "vehicle life-cycle emissions"
Amendment 143 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point 18
Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point 18
(18) “well-to-wheel greenhouse emissions” means emissions representing the greenhouse gas impact stemming from both vehicle use and vehicle energy provision, a subset of transport emissions;
Amendment 144 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point 19 a (new)
Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point 19 a (new)
(19 a) "energy carrier emission" means all emissions of operational processes to provide the energy carrier for use in vehicles or at hubs. This include processes such as extracting, producing, processing, storing, and transporting of energy carriers as well as emissions from construction and dismantling of energy production infrastructure;
Amendment 146 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point 19 b (new)
Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point 19 b (new)
(19 b) "vehicle life-cycle emissions" means the emissions associated to materials used to construct vehicles, the actual construction activities, transport of vehicles, maintenance activities and disposal activities;
Amendment 166 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 4 – paragraph 1 a (new)
Article 4 – paragraph 1 a (new)
1 a. The Commission shall develop a methodology for calculating vehicle life- cycle emissions, not later than 36 month after entry into force of this Regulation.
Amendment 191 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 5 – paragraph 2 – point b a (new)
Article 5 – paragraph 2 – point b a (new)
(b a) default greenhouse gas emission factors for vehicle life-cycle emissions are derived from the central EU database of default greenhouse gas emission factors, referred to in Article 8;
Amendment 222 #

Article 6 – paragraph 3 a (new)
Article 6 – paragraph 3 a (new)
3 a. 12 month after establishing the core EU database the option to apply cut- off criteria as laid out in point 5.2.3 of ISO 14083:2023 shall cease to exist.
Amendment 246 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 8 – paragraph 1
