Recital 8 a (new)
(8a) Reducing CO2 and pollutant emissions usually require conflicting measures. Therefore, as this proposed regulation is considered under the scope of the current emission Regulation (so- called "EURO VI") as set out by Regulation (EC) 595/2009, any revision of the latter should be considered in the mid- term review and shall trigger a revision of the proposed ambition levels for 2025 and 2030.

Recital 13
(13) In the light of innovation and to stimulate and take account of the implementation of new technologies improving the fuel efficiency of heavy- duty vehicles, the VECTO simulation tool as well as Regulation (EU) 2017/2400 will be continuously and timely updated to reflect the introduction of fuel saving technologies as well as the improvements to rigid bodies, trailers and semi-trailers. In order to keep VECTO on par with the state-of -the-art technologies, this update must take place on a yearly basis and sufficient budget must be allocated accordingly by the EU.

Recital 13 a (new)
(13a) In order to stimulate the market introduction of new fuel-efficient features ("eco-features"), manufacturers should be entitled to get credits for technologies which are not yet reflected in the simulation tool ("VECTO"). To this purpose, a "VECTO fast track procedure" will be developed by delegated acts. This procedure will allow manufacturers to demonstrate and get benefit from new eco-features; all technical content and functionality will be revealed to the Commission only, prior to the implementation of the feature in VECTO.
