Amendment 96 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 8
(8) In the heavy-duty road transport sector, LNG trucks are fully mature. On the one hand, the common scenarios underpinning the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy and the Climate Target Plan as well as the revised “Fit for 55” modelling scenarios suggest some limited role of gaseous fuels that will increasingly be decarbonised in heavy-duty road transport especially in the long haul segment. Furthermore, LPG and CNG vehicles for which already a sufficient infrastructure network exists across the Union are expected to gradually be replaced by zero emission drivetrains and therefore only a limited targeted policy for LNG infrastructure deployment that can equally supply decarbonised fuels is considered necessary to close remaining gaps in the main networkconventional gaseous fuels that will increasingly be replaced with decarbonised pathways.

Amendment 112 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10
(10) National fleet based targets should be established on the basis of the total number of registeredshare of electric vehicles inof thate total passenger vehicle fleet in Member States following a common methodology that accounts for technological developments such as the increased driving range of electric vehicles or the increasing market penetration of fast-charging points which can recharge a greater number of vehicles per recharging point than at a normal recharging point. The methodology also has to take into account the different recharging patterns of battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. A methodology that norms national fleet based targets on the total maximum power output of the publicly accessible recharging infrastructure should allow flexibility for the implementation of different recharging technologies in Member States. The methodology should also account for the state of development of the electric vehicle market and adjust accordingly, providing proper weighting to ensure attainable targets that will stimulate the development of markets with small fleets.

Amendment 121 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13
(13) Electric heavy-duty vehicles need a distinctively different recharging infrastructure than light-duty vehicles. Public accessible infrastructure for electric heavy-duty vehicles is however curr, at presently, almost nowhere entirely unavailable in the Union. A combined approach ofFor that reason, heavy-duty vehicles will require a substantially longer development and deployment time than the infrastructure for light-duty vehicles. The option of a partial derogation, of no more than 15% from the mandatory national targets specified in Article 4, will therefore be essential, subject to approval from the Commission. An incremental approach combining distance-based targets along the TEN-T network, targets for overnight recharging infrastructure and targets at urban nodes should ultimately ensure that a sufficient publicly accessible infrastructure coverage for electric heavy- duty vehicles is established throughout the Union to support the expected market uptake of battery electric heavy-duty vehicles.

Amendment 167 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 31
(31) Transport infrastructure should allow seamless mobility and accessibility for all users, including persons with disabilities and older persons. In principle, the location of all recharging and refuelling stations as well as the recharging and refuelling stations themselves should be designed in such a way that they can be used by as much of the public as possible, in particular by older persons, persons with reduced mobility and persons with disabilities. This should include for example providing sufficient space around the parking lot, ensuring that the recharging station is not installed on a kerbed surface, ensuring that the buttons or screen of the recharging station are at an appropriate height and the weight of the recharging and refuelling cables is such that persons with limited strength can handle them with ease. Where parking spaces are available for persons with reduced mobility and with disabilities, a certain percentage should be equipped with recharging and refuelling points. In addition the user interface of the related recharging stations should be accessible. In that sense, the accessibility requirements in Annexes I and III to Directive 2019/88257 should be applicable to recharging and refuelling infrastructure. __________________ 57Directive (EU) 2019/882 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2019 on the accessibility requirements for products and services (OJ L 151, 7.6.2019, p. 70).

Amendment 212 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 45
(45) It is necessary to provide consumers with sufficient information regarding the geographic location, characteristics and services offered at the publicly accessible recharging and refuelling points of alternative fuels covered by this Regulation. Therefore, Member States should ensure that operators or owners of publicly accessible recharging and refuelling points make relevant static and dynamic data available. Requirements on data types regarding availability of and accessibility to relevant recharging and refuelling-related data should be laid down, building on the outcomes of the Programme Support Action on “Data collection related to recharging/refuelling points for alternative fuels and the unique identification codes related to e-mobility actors” (‘IDACS’) as well as the work of the Sustainable Transport Forum.
