(18a) In order to increase the market penetration of zero-emission and low- emission cars, over the period to 2015 inclusive each newly-registered vehicle of these kinds should be counted three times and one-and-a-half times respectively when average specific CO2 emissions are calculated.

(22) Manufacturers' compliance with the targets under this Regulation should be assessed at the Community level. Manufacturers whose average specific emissions of CO2 exceed those permitted under this Regulation should pay an excess emissions premium in respect of each calendar year from 2012 onwards. The premium should be modulated as a function of the extent to which manufacturers fail to comply with their target. It should increase over time. In order to provide a sufficient incentive to take measures to reduce specific emissions of CO2 from passenger cars, the premium should reflect technological costs. The amounts of the excess emissions premium should be considered as revenue for the budget of the European Union.

Article 1
Article 1
Subject matter and objectives Subject matter, purpose and objectives This Regulation establishes CO2 emission performance requirements for new passenger cars in order to ensure proper functioning of the internal market and achieve the EU's overall objective that the average new car fleet should achieve CO2 emissions of 120 g CO2/kmof reducing CO2 emissions in the EU in the road transport sector as well. The Regulation sets the average CO2 emissions for new passenger cars at 130 g CO2/km by means of improvement in vehicle motor technology as measured in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and its implementing measures. This Regulation will be complemented by additional measures corresponding to 10 g/km as part of the Community's integrated approach, so as to attain the EU's overall objective that the average new car fleet should achieve CO2 emissions of 120 g CO2/km. The average CO2 emissions target of 130 g CO2/km, to be attained by means of improvements in vehicle motor technology, must be achieved in 2012 by at least 70%, in 2013 by at least 80%, in 2014 by at least 90% and in 2015 by the entire new car fleet.

Article 2 – paragraph 3 a (new)
3a. Definition of passenger cars: Vehicles designed and constructed for the carriage of passengers and comprising no more than eight seats in addition to the driver's seat. The type of bodywork that covers passenger cars, with codification according to Annex II, part C, item 1, of Directive 2007/46/EC: - AA Saloon - AB Hatchback (saloon with a hatch at the rear end of the vehicle) - AC Station wagon - AD Coupé - AE Convertible - AF Multi-purpose vehicle: Motor vehicle other than those mentioned in AA to AE. If such a vehicle meets both of the following conditions: 1) the number of seating positions, excluding the driver, is not more than six. A ”seating position” shall be regarded as existing if the vehicle is provided with ”accessible” seat anchorages. (Accessible shall mean those anchorages which can be used. In order to prevent anchorages from being accessible, the manufacturer shall physically obstruct their use, for example by welding over cover plates or by fitting similar permanent fixtures which cannot be removed by use of normally available tools), and 2) P – (M + N * 68) ≤ N * 68 where P = technically permissible maximum laden mass in kg M = mass in running order in kg (reference mass) N = number of seating positions excluding the driver, this vehicle is considered to be a passenger car.
