(8) In order to achieve a reduction in net greenhouse gas emissions of at least 545 % by 2030 compared to 1990, it is necessary to strengtheimportant to focus on the reduction requirements set out in Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council25 for both passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. A clear pathway also needs to be set for further reductions beyond 2030 to contribute to achieving the climate neutrality objective by 2050. Without ambitious action on greenhouse gas emission reductions in road transport, higher emission reductions would be needed in other sectors, including sectors where decarbonisation is more challengingHowever, taking into account the economic and social importance of road transport, those measures will need to ensure that the competitiveness of the industry is maintained and that the transition is performed in a socially acceptable manner. __________________ 25Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2019 setting CO2 emission performance standards for new passenger cars and for new light commercial vehicles, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 443/2009 and (EU) No 510/2011 (OJ L 111, 25.4.2019, p. 13).

(9) The strengthened CO2 emission reduction requirements should incentivise an increasing share of zero-emission and low-emission vehicles being deployed on the Union market whilst providing benefits to consumers and citizens in terms of air quality and energy savings, as well as ensuring that innovation in the automotive value chain can be maintained. The automotive industry remains one of the pillars of the Union economy, contributing 7% of European GDP, providing 4.6 million jobs and remaining at the cutting edge of technological innovation with EUR 60 billion invested each year in research and development. The industry needs to be supported in its environmental and digital transition, as European manufacturers are now facing a triple bind, with tightened environmental regulations, increasing investment needs in innovation and heightened international competition. Within the global context, also the EU automotive chain must continue to be a leading actor in the on- going transition towards zero-emission mobility. The strengthened CO2 emission reduction standards aremust remain technology neutral in reaching the fleet-wide targets that they set. Different technologies are andmust remain available to reach the zero-emission fleet wide target. Zero-emission vehicles currently include battery electric vehicles, fuel-cell and other hydrogen powered vehicles, and technological innovations are continuing. Zero and low-emission vehicles, which also include well performing plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, can continue to play a role in the transition pathway which run on advanced biofuels or synthetic fuels as defined in Directive (EU) 2018/20011a, which is currently under review, can continue to play a role in the transition pathway. __________________ 1aDirective (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources (OJ L 328, 21.12.2018, p. 82).

(9a) While battery-powered electric vehicles have great potential to decarbonise the fleet and should be encouraged, they do not justify abandoning the principle of technological neutrality, and should rather be used together with other efficient technologies. It is important to stress that no technology is ‘zero emission’ or has no environmental impact, including this type of vehicle (given the battery’s carbon footprint, the higher weight of vehicles, the origin of the electricity, the extraction of raw materials). In this respect, the risk of supply tensions should be assessed and addressed in order to meet European demand in a context of increased international pressure to extract the resources needed to manufacture batteries, with projections for battery production increasing twentyfold by 2050. Moreover, the impacts on electricity networks (in terms of decarbonisation, availability, performance and standardisation) or on the rollout of recharging infrastructures (network size correlated with autonomy, high private and public investment requirements) must be considered.

Recital 9 b (new)
(9b) The principle of technological neutrality is fundamental to ensure there is a plurality of solutions, to preserve innovation and development, including in disruptive technologies, and to allow market flexibility and a diverse range of social behaviours. It is thus important not to 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.

(10) Against that background, new strengthened CO2 emission reduction targets should be set for both new passenger cars and new light commercial vehicles for the period 2030 onwards. Those targets should be set at a level that willrespects the principle of technological neutrality while delivering a strong signal to accelerate the uptake of zero-emission and low-emission vehicles on the Union market and to stimulate innovation in zero- emission technologies in a cost- efficient way.

(11) The targets in the revised CO2 performance standards should be accompanied by a European strategy to address the challenges posed by the scale- up of the manufacturing of zero-emission and low-emission vehicles and associated technologies, as well as the need for up- and re-skilling of workers in the sector and the economic diversification and reconversion of activities. Where appropriate, fFinancial support should be consideredtherefore be stepped up at the level of the EU and Member States to crowd in private investment, including via the European Social Fund Plus, the Just Transition Fund, the Innovation Fund, the Recovery and Resilience Facility, the Automotive Sector Support Fund and other instruments of the Multiannual Financial Framework and the Next Generation EU, in line with State aid rules. The revised environmental and energy state aid rules will enable Member States to support business to decarbonize their production processes and adopt greener technologies in the context of the New Industrial Strategy.

(11a) A structural effect of the transition to zero-emission vehicles will be significant job losses in the automotive sector, from manufacturers and their suppliers to ancillary maintenance and repair services. In order to manage the social consequences of the transition, a specific fund to support the sector should be established to help with the requalification, training and retraining of automotive workers, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises in the sector. This fund should be financed by the general budget of the Union and from income from excess emissions premiums.

(11b) It will not be possible to achieve the long-term goal of entirely decarbonising European mobility without technological innovation and technical progress. With that in mind, and in the face of increased international competition, it is essential that the Union and Member States continue their efforts to explore and develop initiatives that promote the synergies possible in the sector, taking as a model the EU Batteries Alliance, and support public and private investment in European automotive research and innovation in order to maintain European technological leadership in that sector, to develop industrial excellence in the technologies of the future on European soil and to ensure the long-term sustainability of its industrial base, keeping it efficient and competitive on the world market.

Recital 12
(12) The updated New Industrial Strategy26 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 should be developed for the mobility ecosystem to accompany the transition of the automotive value chain. The pathway should take particular heed of SMEs 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. The appropriate actions and incentives at European and national level to boost the affordability of zero emission vehicles should also be addressed in the pathway. The progress made on this comprehensive transition pathway for the mobility ecosystem should be monitored every two years as part of a progress report to be submitted by the Commission, looking inter alia at the progress in the deployment of zero- emission and low-emission vehicles, their price developments, deployment of alternative fuels development and infrastructure roll- out as required under the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation, the potential of innovative technologies to reach climate neutral mobility, international competitiveness, investments in the automotive value chain, up-skilling and re- skilling of workers and reconversion of activities. The progress report will also build on the two-year progress reports that Member States submit under the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation. The Commission should consult social partners in the preparation of the progress report, including the results in the social dialogue. Innovations in the automotive supply chain are continuing. Innovative technologies such as the production of advanced biofuels and electro-fuels with air capture, if further developed, could offer prospects for affordable climate neutral mobility. The Commission should therefore keep track of progress in the state of innovation in the sector as part of its progress report. __________________ 26 Commission Communication - Updating the 2020 New Industrial Strategy: Building a stronger Single Market for Europe’s recovery, COM(2021) 350 final of 5 May 2021

Recital 12 b (new)
(12b) Although this Regulation only applies to new passenger cars and light commercial vehicles on the market, it is important to include in it a more comprehensive Union-wide action plan to decarbonise the existing fleet. The current fleet will remain a factor that contributes towards environmental underperformance for an extended period into the future owing to the slow pace of fleet renewal. To speed up the reduction of emissions from the existing fleet, it is of the utmost importance that the Commission submits legislative proposals without delay to establish a framework that is favourable to retrofitting and encourages the use of low-carbon fuels, to accelerate the modal shift for freight and passengers and to encourage more environmentally friendly transport habits (carpooling, soft mobility and public transport in cities, etc.).

Recital 13 a (new)
(13a) The rollout of sufficient charging and refuelling infrastructure for alternative fuels is an essential prerequisite for the development of the market for zero- and low-emission vehicles and, therefore, for the success of this Regulation; thus, any increase in this Regulation’s emission-reduction targets, including on interim objectives, should go hand-in-hand with an increase in rollout targets set as part of the revision of the Directive on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure; in this connection, it is vital that investment in its deployment should be continued and increased. The Member States should be provided with sufficient support and help to achieve this objective due to their significant investment needs in a decade in which their tax losses and transfers of tax revenues towards alternative fuels will increase. In this context, it is important to underline that the issue of refuelling is intrinsically linked to the very autonomy of vehicles, that, the more the latter increases, the less frequent refuelling will need to be – and that the Commission should therefore take account of technological developments, in particular with regard to the autonomy of batteries, which affect the deployment of infrastructure.
