(7a) The automotive sector is of strategic importance for the EU's economy. Car manufacturing (assembly and suppliers) employs 2.6 million workers and generates 900 000 jobs in supplying industries, which together represent 11.6% of EU manufacturing employment. With the dramatic acceleration of the decarbonisation pace that the Fit for 55 package will entail, additional resources in an extended Just Transition Fund (JTF) – will be needed to cope with the social consequences of emission-reduction measures in regions dependent on automotive supply chains.

(9a) To ensure all solutions will help decarbonise the transport sector now and beyond 2035, there is a need to move beyond the pure Tank-to-Wheel approach in measuring emissions and to consider emissions on a Well-to-Wheel or life cycle assessment basis.

(13) Those EU fleet-wide targets are toshould be complemented by the necessary roll-out of recharging and refuelling infrastructure as set out in. For this reason, considering the insufficient implementation of Directive 2014/94/EU of the of the European Parliament and of the Council27 . , this proposal should be accompanied by an ambitious proposal for a Regulation on the Deployment of Alternative Fuels Infrastructure, providing for mandatory targets for the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure throughout the EU Member States. _________________ 27 Directive 2014/94/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2014 on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure (OJ L 307 28.10.2014, p. 1).

(16a) The implementation of the CO2 emission standards is strongly linked to that of the type approval legislation. Following the planned replacement of Regulation 715/2007 (Euro 6)1a in 2025, it is appropriate for the Commission to assess whether, in the light of the new objectives of this Regulation and the proposed end of sales of cars and vans with internal combustion engines, it is appropriate to adopt a new European vehicle emissions standards (EURO 7)for a new passenger cars and for new light commercial vehicles. One of the main factors in such an assessment should be an economic analysis of the suitability of investing in the development of such engines, given their expected short market availability. _________________ 1aRegulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2007 on type approval of motor vehicles with respect to emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 5 and Euro 6) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information

The Commission will define the Well-to- Wheel methodology by June 30th 2023.

(4a) In Article 4 the following paragraph is added: ‘3a. Manufacturers, other than manufacturers which have been granted a derogation, may form a pool or may trade credits for the purposes of meeting their obligations. For the purposes of determining each manufacturer’s average specific emissions of CO2, a potential over-achievement of a manufacturer’s CO2 target in one category (M1 or N1) could be combined with an exceedance in the other category (M1 or N1) by the same or another manufacturer. Due to the different target definitions of M1 & N1, this specific credit transfer mechanism option can only combine the difference between a manufacturer’s specific emission target and its specific emissions in one category (M1 or N1) with the difference between a manufacturer’s specific emission target and its specific emissions in the other category (M1 or N1). When the credit trading in one category allows to compensate the exceedance of the other category, the combination shall be considered to have met the two specific emissions targets. For fleet compliance, the maximum amount of grammes that can be traded between M1 and N1 segments of the same or a different manufacturer is capped to 7g WLTP.’

The modification is defined as follows: the difference between a manufacturer’s specific emission target and its specific emissions in one category (M1 or N1) with the difference between a manufacturer’s specific emission target and its specific emissions in the other category (M1 or N1). When the volume based credit trading in one category allows to compensate the exceedance of the other category, the combination shall be considered to have met the two specific emissions targets.’
