(7) The REPowerEU Communication13 outlined a plan to make the Union independent from Russian fossil fuels well before the end of this decade. The Communication highlights the importance, among others, of further increasing the efficiency and reducing fossil consumption in the transport sector, where electrification can be combined with the use of fossil-freeCO2 neutral fuels, including hydrogen to replace fossil fuels. __________________ 13 Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the European Council, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions, REPowerEU Plan, COM(2022)230 final of 18.5.2022.

Recital 9
(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 users and citizens in terms of air quality and energy savings, as well as ensuring that innovation in the automotive value chain can be maintained. Zero-emission vehicles currently include battery electric vehicles, fuel-cell and other hydrogen-powered vehicles, and technological innovations are continuing. The automotive industry remains one of the pillars of the EU 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. The strengthened CO2 emission reduction standards must become technology neutral in reaching the fleet-wide targets that they set. Zero and low-emission vehicles, which run on advanced biofuels or synthetic fuels as defined in Directive (EU) 2018/20011a. Zero-emission and low- emission vehicles currently include battery electric vehicles, fuel-cell and other hydrogen-powered vehicles, and technological innovations are continuing. __________________ 1a Directive (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 (recast).

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 enterprizes 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.

(12) The Union fleet-wide targets are to be complemented by the necessarydependent on the rapid roll-out of recharging and refuelling infrastructure as set out in the Commission Proposal for a regulation on the deployment of alternative fuel infrastructure16 . __________________ 16 Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure, and repealing Directive 2014/94/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, 14.7.2021, COM/2021/559 final.

Recital 12 a (new)
(12a) 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.

6 a. CALCULATION OF THE CARBON CORRECTION FACTOR (CCF) For each fuel or blend of fuels i, the CCFi shall be calculated according to the following method: 6.1. When the share of CO2 neutral fuels is 100%, CCFi = 1. 6.2. When the share of CO2 neutral fuels is 0%, CCFi = 0. 6.3. For blends of CO2 Neutral Fuels and conventional fuels, the CCFi shall be calculated according to the following formula: 𝑺𝑯𝑨𝑹𝑬𝑺𝒏;𝒊 𝑪𝑪𝑭𝒊 = 𝟏𝟎𝟎 Where: CCFi is the Carbon Correction Factor for a specific blend of CO2 neutral fuel i and conventional fuel. SHARESn;i is the percentage of CO2 neutral fuel i over the total consumption of fuel i, calculated from SHARES database.
