Recital 4
(4) Greenhouse gas emissions from lorries, buses and coaches, i.e. heavy-duty vehicles, currently represent around a quarter of road transport emissions and a fifth of all transport emissions in the Union and are expected to increase further and rapidly by 2030. Effective and timely measures to curb emissions from heavy- duty vehicles need to be introduced in order to contribute to the necessary emission reductions in the transport sector.

Recital 5
(5) In its 2014 Communication on a Strategy for reducing Heavy-Duty Vehicles’ fuel consumption and CO2 emissions13 , the Commission recognised that a prerequisite to introducing such measures is a regulated procedure for the determination of CO2 emissions and fuel consumption. __________________ 13In its 2017 Mobility Package ‘Europe on the move’, the Commission envisaged a proposal for heavy-duty vehicle standards in the first half of 2018. Timely publishing of this proposal is crucial to agree the new standards within this mandate. __________________ 13 COM(2014) 285 final. COM(2014) 285 final.

Recital 7
(7) Information on a vehicle’s performance in terms of CO2 emissions and fuel consumption should be made publicly available to enable all vehicle operators to take well-informed purchasing decisions. All vehicle manufacturers will be able to compare their vehicles’ performance with those of other makes. This will increase the incentives for innovation and therefore increase competitiveness. That information will also provide policy makers at Union and Member State level with a sound basis for developing policies to promote the uptake of more energy-efficient vehicles. Making necessary information publicly available or available to third parties upon request will allow stakeholders to perform independent verification testing and conduct market research and comparison. This will increase the reliability of the VECTO tool and spur innovation and competitiveness. It is therefore appropriate that the CO2 emissions and fuel consumption values determined for each new heavy-duty vehicle pursuant to Commission Regulation (EU) […/…]15 [Opoce to include correct reference] are monitored, reported to the Commission and made available to the public. __________________ 15 Commission Regulation (EU) […/…] implementing Regulation (EU) No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the determination of CO2 emissions and fuel consumption of heavy-duty vehicles and amending Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 (OJ L…,..,..).
